Reviewer scorecard
“Ship desktop apps with your web stack. VS Code proves Electron apps can be fast with the right engineering.”
“50x faster than ESLint with zero config. Catches the most impactful lint rules without the plugin complexity.”
“Memory hog that bundles a full Chrome instance. Tauri is the modern alternative with 10x smaller bundles.”
“The speed makes linting instantaneous in editors and CI. The focused rule set means less noise than full ESLint.”
“Tauri and native solutions are the future for desktop apps. Electron was necessary but its era is ending.”
“Rust-based linting joins SWC, Rspack, and Biome in the JavaScript Rust toolchain revolution.”
