Why It Matters

For platform engineers and architect readers optimizing SDLC toolchains, this bridges Rust's speed with Go's compiler alignment to bypass reimplementing type checking, making migration from ESLint practical while inheriting future TypeScript compiler optimizations.

Key Takeaways

Evaluate Oxlint + tsgolint v7 if your CI linting is bottlenecked by type-aware rules, especially on legacy monorepos — the 12-18x speed gain and TypeScript 7 alignment may justify the migration overhead.

tsgolint Reaches Stable v7, Bringing Go-Powered Type-Aware Linting to Oxlint

Summary

tsgolint v7, the Go-powered type-aware linting engine behind Oxlint, is now stable, achieving 12-18x speedup over ESLint with typescript-eslint across large codebases like microsoft/vscode and vuejs/core. It builds real TypeScript programs on typescript-go (TypeScript 7's official Go port), covering 59 of 61 type-aware rules, and outputs structured diagnostics to Oxlint's Rust-based file discovery and syntax rules. The release tracks TypeScript v7.0.2, adds per-rule debug timings, and exposes compiler errors via --type-check.
