Linter + formatter (Rust)

What it is
A single Rust binary that replaces both ESLint and Prettier, at v2.5 with over 500 lint rules, GritQL plugins and a watch mode. It formats and lints JS, TS, JSX, JSON and CSS in one pass, typically many times faster than the tools it replaces.
Why it earns a slot
One dependency and one config file instead of a dozen ESLint plugins that fight Prettier over semicolons. For a solo builder it removes the single most annoying setup step in a new repo.
Know before you commit
Rule coverage still trails the full ESLint plugin ecosystem — notably some React and accessibility rules — so heavily-linted teams sometimes keep ESLint alongside it.
