parse without eslint

[benmccann]

I was wondering if there might be another way to parse such as using zimmerframe because eslint is a very heavy dependency

It looks like it's being used for comments, but I'm not sure it's necessary. This method seems to be able to handle comments without using eslint:

ESLint 8, which this package uses, has recently been deprecated. @alexprey, do you by any chance have plans to update to ESLint 9 or replace the parser?

Given the fact that @alexprey (sadly) wasn't active on github for at least over a year, this might be a dead end and the lib should be considered unmaintained…

I hope he is doing fine and it's just a matter of priorities, but it might be worth discussing to fork the lib to get it up to date with dependencies and requirements by the projects that rely on it…
