## What it is
eslint_d is a drop-in CLI replacement for eslint that runs eslint in a persistent background daemon process to dramatically reduce linting latency while editing. It integrates with editors like Vim (ALE, syntastic), Neovim (nvim-lint), Emacs (flycheck), and Sublime Text.

## Use cases
- speed up eslint linting in vim while editing javascript
- make eslint faster in neovim with nvim-lint
- reduce eslint startup time in emacs flycheck
- run eslint as a background daemon to avoid repeated startup cost
- drop-in eslint replacement for editor linting plugins
- lint typescript and javascript files quickly from the command line

## When to choose
- you lint files repeatedly from an editor like Vim, Neovim, Emacs, or Sublime and eslint startup time is slowing you down
- you want a drop-in eslint CLI replacement that manages its own background server lifecycle
- you need compatibility across many eslint versions (v4-v10) and node LTS releases

## When to avoid
- you use VSCode, WebStorm, or Atom, which already cache eslint instances internally so there is no performance gain
- you only run eslint occasionally in CI or scripts where a daemon adds no benefit
- you prefer a single-shot linting process without background server management
