If I Wrote a Linter, Part 3: Ecosystem

Read Original

The article, part of a series on building a linter, focuses on designing the ecosystem around a modern linter. It discusses the importance of community platforms like Discord, the need for a shared glossary to clarify confusing linting terminology, and the trade-offs between a 'lean core' vs. 'heavy core' approach for bundling rules. Written by an experienced contributor to TSLint, typescript-eslint, and ESLint.
