Performance at Scale: The Static Analysis Standard for 100x Faster Linting

#javascript #eslint #imports #tutorial

High-performance teams cannot wait 45 seconds for a linter. Here is the engineering standard for 100x faster static analysis, designed to scale developer velocity without compromising code quality.

🔄 Drop-in replacement — 100% compatible with all eslint-plugin-import rules, but faster, LLM-optimized error messages, and fewer false positives/negatives.

Quick Install

| Recommended Preset   | **5.5x** faster    |
| `no-cycle` Rule Only | **100x** faster 🔥 |
