Lintingstatic

Lintingstatic is a cross-language linting and static analysis tool designed to enforce coding standards and surface potential issues in source code. It combines traditional lint checks with deeper static analysis to identify stylistic problems, unsafe patterns, and common anti-patterns across multiple programming languages. The project aims to provide a unified, extensible linting experience for teams.

Architecture and features: It uses a modular rule engine and language adapters. Supported languages include JavaScript, Python, Java, and Go, with a plugin system for adding new rules. Configuration is stored in lintingstatic.config.json (or lintingstatic.yaml), specifying enabled rules, severities, and ignore paths. Built-in rule packs cover style, correctness, and security, and custom rules can be authored. It offers autofix for safe changes and outputs reports in text, JSON, or SARIF; CI and editor integrations are supported.

Usage: Install lintingstatic, then run lintingstatic scan on a repository. Violations are reported with file, line, rule, and message. Users can run autofix, generate a summary, or integrate lintingstatic into CI pipelines so builds fail on defined severities. It respects per-project exclusions and can be configured with per-project rulesets.

History and reception: lintingstatic originated as an open-source project to unify linting across languages. It has an active community with regular releases and contributions. Adoption ranges from small teams to larger organizations seeking consistent code quality metrics across polyglot codebases.
