Reviewer scorecard
“One tool replacing Prettier + ESLint with massively better performance. The migration from existing configs is smooth.”
“Too expensive for what it offers. Plenty of open-source alternatives.”
“The speed improvement is not a micro-optimization — it changes CI feedback loops and editor responsiveness.”
“Solid execution. Does what it promises and the DX is clean.”
“Rust-based tooling replacing JavaScript tools is the trend. Biome is the most impactful example.”
“Interesting concept but the execution isn't there yet. Give it 6 months.”
