Re:Rome: A Linter for JavaScript and TypeScript by wildpeaks on Saturday August 08, 2020 @08:21PM (#24096329)
A few questions on top of my head when I consider changing the toolchain:

- does it handle images imports

- does it handle scss imports

- if not, does it require css-in-js (and if so which one)

- does it handle shaders imports (and other arbitrary dependencies that need custom processing to get embedded in the bundle)

- does it generate SRI hashes for stylesheets and scripts

- can it generate web workers

- can it generate node bundles or only browser bundles

- can it split chunks

- do you still get TS intellisense in VSCode

- can it be used with Rust and/or Webassembly

It's a linter so you don't need to ask any of those questions. Future usage as a bundler isn't dependent on any decision to use it as a linter.

It does matter if the only value of the linter at the moment is that it will be part of a set of tools to replace the entire toolchain.

It already took forever for the ecosystem to get JSHint, Tslint and others to converge into Eslint.
