It’s funny, this is the kind of thing that’s meant to end bike shedding, but to me this is the ultimate bike shed.
I like linters, and having a good default config out of the box is a good idea. But the idea that you need an entire language community to agree to only ever do anything one specific way is just kind of silly IMO.
What projects like these say to me is that there are too many teams with poor leadership who spend far too much time bickering over things like which linter rules to use, and thus feel that invoking a higher power (the “standard,” in this case), is the only thing that will save them.
Now that this problem is “solved,” what new crisis caused by a lack of leadership will present itself?
