The good part is that the new tools do replace the old ones, while being compatible. The pattern is:
* Rolldown is compatible to Rollup's API and can use most Rollup plugins
* Oxlint supports JS plugins and is ESLint compatibel (can run ESLint rules easily)
* Oxfmt plans to support Prettier plugins, in turn using the power of the ecosystem
* and so on...
So you get better performance and can still work with your favorite plugins and extend tools "as before".
Regarding the "mix of technology" or tooling fatigue: I get that. We have to install a lot of tools, even for a simple application. This is where Vite+[0] will shine, bringing the modern and powerful tools together, making them even easier to adopt and reducing the divide in the ecosystem.
As far as I'm aware oxlint only supports plugins for non type aware rules, and type aware rules themselves aren't fully stable because it relies on a fork of tsgo.
So you really think everyone in JS should have to learn Rust or else be excluded from sharing in the ownership of their critical infra..?
e: ahhh frick this is just stupid AI spam for this dude’s project.
Supports… some ESLint rules. It is not “easy” to add support to Oxlint for the rules it does not.
The projects at my work that “switched” to it now use both Eslint and Oxlint. It sucks, but at least a subset of errors are caught much faster.
Vite+ is not “this dude’s project”, it’s made by the team that makes all the tools discussed in this article.
Yeah, no. Real human here.
Oxlint does support core rules out of the box but has support for JS plugins[0] as mentioned. If you don't rely on a custom parser (so svelte or vue component for example) things just work. Even react compiler rules[1].
