Why the models rank ESLint — on best javascript linter
“Still the strongest default for serious JavaScript/TypeScript projects: unmatched rule and plugin depth, mature editor/CI integration, highly configurable flat config, and typescript-eslint provides the deepest proven type-aware analysis; ESLint 10 remains actively developed in 2026. ([ESLint][1])”
Why the models rank Oxlint — on best javascript linter
“Fastest production linter by a wide margin (50-100x ESLint baseline, 12-18x on type-aware workloads), with stable type-aware linting (tsgolint v7, July 2026) covering 59 of 61 typescript-eslint type-aware rules using the real TypeScript type system via typescript-go; broad rule coverage including React/Jest/import equivalents, low-config defaults focused on correctness, excellent migration tooling, and proven scale for large monorepos/CI without sacrificing semantic depth. Assumes typical practitioner prioritizes catching real TS bugs (floating promises, misused types, etc.) at interactive speeds over niche plugins.”
