eslint-plugin-sonar/sonarjs

[Goldziher]

SonarQube has a very useful EsLint plugin (eslint-plugin-sonarjs) - I was always a fan of their "cognitive complexity" over other implementations of complexity measurement for example, and their rules are very useful as a style guide as well. Recently a new plugin was released that extracts all the rules from Sonar (eslint-plugin-sonar), which isn't official.

It would be great to have at least some of the rules from these plugins implemented in oxclint.

For reference:

@rzvxa @DonIsaac whats the rfc process?

[DonIsaac]

I was thinking about this too, but we may run into problems considering it's LGPL licensed.

[Goldziher]

The LGPL license is for their code, it can't cover the functionality itself.

[DonIsaac]

We'd then need to guarantee that every contribution was created without reading their code... which isn't really viable if we're taking public contributions.

We could potentially port over some rules, but only if maintainers wrote them and were very careful about how they did so. I'm not sure this is worth it in most cases, but it is very tempting for some of their rules.

Biome implemented one too https://biomejs.dev/linter/rules/no-excessive-cognitive-complexity/

Or it's possible to ask for permission?
