oxlint outpaces ESLint by 13x on Vue core, even with type-aware rules enabled

A developer benchmarked ESLint and oxlint against Vue's core repository — 445 TypeScript files totalling around 150,000 lines — using both syntactic and type-aware rule sets. ESLint completed the plain syntactic pass in 4.4 seconds and climbed to 12 seconds when type-aware rules were enabled, requiring the TypeScript compiler to run first. oxlint, a Rust-based linter built by VoidZero — the company founded by Vue and Vite creator Evan You — finished the syntactic pass in just 0.24 seconds, with its internal engine time recorded at 75 milliseconds. When oxlint's own type-aware mode was enabled via the --type-aware flag, it completed the same class of analysis in 0.9 seconds, roughly 13 times faster than ESLint's equivalent pass. The author noted that while the rule sets are not identical between the two tools, the results challenge the assumption that oxlint's speed comes from skipping expensive checks rather than from genuine performance gains.
