Reviewer scorecard
“This is my daily driver. The codebase awareness is unreal — it understands project structure, conventions, and dependencies without being told. Multi-file refactors just work.”
“50x faster than ESLint with zero config. Catches the most impactful lint rules without the plugin complexity.”
“Rate limits are the only downside. When it's running smoothly, it's the best coding assistant available. When you hit limits, you're stuck waiting. Plan for that.”
“The speed makes linting instantaneous in editors and CI. The focused rule set means less noise than full ESLint.”
“The terminal-first approach was the right call. Developers live in their terminal. This isn't an IDE plugin — it's an AI-native development environment.”
“Rust-based linting joins SWC, Rspack, and Biome in the JavaScript Rust toolchain revolution.”
