The whole post here is nicely replete with good information, on how things are going to work what the situation is.
I really really dig the "Decision Process" section in particular, because it goes over so many what-if scenarios. https://oxc.rs/blog/2025-08-17-oxlint-type-aware.html#decisi...
More than just trying to stake your claim, talking up your thing: to situate your audience and help them to see the broader view, to get many what-if's flowing: that is divine.

How does it compare to biome?
Oxlint is a alternative to eslint built on Oxc. It has suffered from not supporting the additional level of type-based linting that typescript-eslint can provide. They’ve now addressed that by patching and wrapping Microsoft’s new go-based typescript compiler.
Hopefully they are up to the task of continually keeping up to date with the go compiler’s internals, and/or Microsoft exposes a programmatic interface for the new compiler’s parser and type-checking.
I also wonder if or how plugins will be possible for this go+rust combination linter – they’re a pretty important part of the eslint ecosystem they’re trying to upend.
