Biome

Applicant

Emanuele Stoppa (https://git.521000.beste/ematipico)

Description

A toolchain for web projects, aimed to provide functionalities to maintain them. Biome offers formatter, linter and import sorting usable via CLI, LSP and WASM.

Reason for Applying

As the project is gaining traction and being used by big projects, we want to provide a secure environment to its maintainers and dependents.

Statement of alignment with OpenJS Foundation charter and mission

The Biome is a young and welcoming project, that aims to provide alternatives to the developer tools that today exists in the web ecosytem. It follows the OpenJS Foundation principles to operate transparently, openly, collaboratively, and ethically.

By joining the OpenJS Foundation, we want to secure a safe status from a legal point of view, considering the background of the project (being a fork of Rome, licensed by a private company called Rome Tools Inc). We want to make sure that contributions of our contributors are legally protected.

Biome is a Rust a project, hence we are trying to create a learning space, where contributors can learn a new language, especially for people that have "web" background.

Impact and users of the project

Recently Biome won a bounty, which place it as an excellent alternative to Prettier, with outstanding performance gains, especially in CI enviroments.

Biome is currently used by sentry, Polar, Ant Design, Unleash, React Data Grid and more.

In the next months, Biome wants to span itself in different directions: being able to handle CSS/HTML/Vue/Svelte/Markdown, incrasing its formatting capabilities. Also, it wants to increate its linting capabilities, by adding a sub set of the TypeScript checker, and offer more useful lint rules that are currently used by big projects. This will create a viable alterantive to ESLint.

Biome offers LSP and WASM capabilities, which allow it to offers diagnostics out of the box. It doesn't require Node.js to function, so users can download the binary and use it without additional tools.
