oxlint

Overview

oxlint is a JavaScript/TypeScript linter written in Rust — 50-100x faster than ESLint. It runs without Node.js, handles thousands of files in milliseconds, and implements the most common ESLint rules (correctness, suspicious, pedantic). Use it alongside ESLint (for rules oxlint doesn't cover yet) or as a standalone fast linter for CI.

When to Use

• ESLint taking 30+ seconds in CI — oxlint runs in <1 second
• Large monorepos where linting is the CI bottleneck
• Want instant feedback in pre-commit hooks
• Need basic correctness checks without Node.js setup
• Transitioning from ESLint gradually
