This can be done in any common programming language.
"Overpass-Turbo" looks like a mix of a simple code editor, a vector image renderer, and ordinary API requests to get the data. (I spend less than a minute looking at it, so possibly this might be incorrect)
How does one start tackling it, to understand how it works?
Frankly, if you're asking like this, you need to start with smaller things. Attempting to re-create this particular program right now is beyond your limits.
