RSLint is an extremely fast JavaScript and TypeScript linter written in Rust, distributed as a CLI binary and a Rust crate. It uses parallelism, a low-memory syntax tree, and an error-tolerant parser to lint code without requiring Node.js.

Use cases

• lint javascript files without node
• fast parallel linting of a typescript codebase
• lint code with syntax errors using an error-tolerant parser
• replace eslint with a faster native binary linter
• embed a javascript linter in a rust application
• lint code in an editor on the fly as you type

When to choose

• you need extremely fast, parallel linting of JS/TS without a Node runtime
• you want a linter that tolerates incomplete or broken syntax
• you want a Rust crate for parsing/linting JavaScript

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready, mature linter with a large rule ecosystem (use ESLint instead)
• you rely on ESLint plugins or custom JS-based rules
• you need actively maintained software - the project is WIP with sparse releases
