Legitimately, I have had to stay away from certain linting tools because of how slow they are. I'll check this out.

cfn-lint is due for one of these rewrites, it's excruciating. I made some patches to experiment with it and it could be a lot faster.

Appreciate it! cloudformation isn't in scope today but the perf approach (tree-sitter + parallel file walk + rule pre-filtering) transfers, so happy to check it out.
