What Biome does
Biome is a Rust-based toolchain for JavaScript and TypeScript that replaces ESLint and Prettier. The listing says it runs 35 times faster than those tools and needs no configuration to start. Developers use it to lint and format code with a single tool. Because it is written in Rust, it runs as a native binary rather than through a JavaScript runtime. The project is available at biomejs.dev.
