Section titled “How fast is Flint?”Flint is fast.
Flint isn’t blazing fast the way native speed linters such as Biome’s linter and Oxlint are. Native speed linters will always be faster than hybrid-speed linters such as Flint.
However, Flint is still very fast compared to traditional TypeScript linters such as ESLint with typescript-eslint:
- It utilizes an intelligent cross-file cache that significantly reduces redundant linting work.
- Its architecture is optimized for cross-file linting, enabling performance optimizations.
