linting & formatting dilemma

[cStralpt]

i try to understand about what are these 2 tools claim,

• biome has 35x faster formatting code compared to prettier while oxlint is 50-100x faster linting speed compared to eslint
• biome doesn't give linting speed benchmark?
• oxlint doesn't give formatting speed benchmark?
• does oxlint also do formatting? what it means it support prettier?
  
  

i hope there are very clear explanation here, why we should stick with which one of those.

Hi @cStralpt, hope you found your answer. However if you didn't I'll give you a quick rundown, oxc and biome are entirely different project with very different goals in mind. Biome is a fork of Rome, which was always set out to be linter + formatter bundled in one, it's aim was to improve overall linting + formatting performance with ESlint Compatibility an after-thought. However, oxc-project has subset of tools within the ecosystem, with aim to be a drop-in replacement for existing tools. For example, ox-lint only targets ESLint compatibility. Currently ox formatter is under development which targets preetier. Both projects have similar goals when you read a summary but they have different plans to ease adoption.

EDIT:

According to Current Notes of OX-Lint here

At the current stage, oxlint is not intended to fully replace ESLint; it serves as an enhancement when ESLint's slowness becomes a bottleneck in your workflow.

We recommend running oxlint before ESLint in your lint-staged or CI setup for a quicker feedback loop, considering it only takes a few seconds to run on large codebases.
