Sure, but given a choice, I'd rather work with primitives that are correct-by-construction, not correct-if-I-use-an-extra-tool-and-actually-act-on-its-advice.
If you do use a linter and have it set up so linter issues are fatal to the build, then you run into the issue that if the linter throws false positives, you have to add exclusion rules (if the linter even supports that) or downgrade linter issues back to warnings, and lose the benefit entirely.
