Reviewer scorecard
“One tool replacing Prettier + ESLint with massively better performance. The migration from existing configs is smooth.”
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“The speed improvement is not a micro-optimization — it changes CI feedback loops and editor responsiveness.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“Rust-based tooling replacing JavaScript tools is the trend. Biome is the most impactful example.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
