Reviewer scorecard
“One tool replacing Prettier + ESLint with massively better performance. The migration from existing configs is smooth.”
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“The speed improvement is not a micro-optimization — it changes CI feedback loops and editor responsiveness.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“Rust-based tooling replacing JavaScript tools is the trend. Biome is the most impactful example.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
