I used to juggle ESLint and Prettier every day.
Two tools. Multiple config files. Plugin conflicts. Slow checks. And that constant feeling that something was always fighting something else.
Then I found Biome.
Biome is a single, Rust-powered tool that does both formatting and linting. It replaces the classic ESLint + Prettier combo with one binary and one simple config.
Why it feels different
It’s extremely fast. According to the official benchmark, Biome formats ~35x faster than Prettier when processing 171,127 lines of code across 2,104 files (on an Intel Core i7 1270P). In real projects, the difference is impossible to ignore — checks that used to take seconds now finish almost instantly.
One tool, one config. No more keeping a linter and a formatter in sync. Biome uses the same parser for both jobs, so they never disagree.
High compatibility, clear feedback. The formatter is about 97% compatible with Prettier. The linter comes with hundreds of solid rules inspired by ES
