Flint

[Experimental] Monorepo for Flint: a fast, friendly linter. ❤️‍🔥

Flint is an experimental new linter. It's a proof-of-concept to explore the concepts in the following blog posts:

• Hybrid Linters: The Best of Both Worlds
• If I Wrote a Linter, Part 1: Architecture
• If I Wrote a Linter, Part 2: Developer Experience
• If I Wrote a Linter, Part 3: Ecosystem
• If I Wrote a Linter, Part 4: Summary

This project might go nowhere. It might show some of those ideas to be wrong. It might become a real linter. Only time will tell.

In the meantime, come talk about it on the Flint Discord.

Why?

Flint is an attempt at a "hybrid" linter: one that combines...

• Ergonomics: the ease of writing rules in JavaScript or TypeScript
• Performance: some of the speed of native linters by parsing and type checking with typescript-go

It also brings in several improvements over traditional linter paradigms:

• Streamlined configuration: flexible configuration files that still preserve readability
• Type-aware caching: significantly improving performance when linting changes to large repositories
• Unified core: promoting popular rules to the core project for easier, more reliable inclusion

Usage

Coming soon.
