The Oxidation Compiler is building a set of tools for the JavaScript / TypeScript language.
These tools include:
* Parser - Done
* Linter - Work in progress
* Formatter
* Transpiler
* Minifier
## Goals
The goal of this project is to:
* Create a *really* fast native program by using the Rust programming language
* Provide the basic building blocks for creating your own tools by having good API designs
* Provide good documentation on learning Rust and compiler techniques
> Performance issues are considered as bugs in this project.
## Contributing
This project is an invitation for you to come and learn Rust with us.
Contributions are welcome and highly appreciated. To get started, check out [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md).
If you do not have the time to contribute code, you can still participate by:
* star and watch this project
* join us on [Discord](https://discord.gg/9uXCAwqQZW)
* [follow me on twitter](https://twitter.com/boshen_c)
* provide your wisdom in [discussions](https://github.com/Boshen/oxc/discussions)
## Milestone
Oxc has a fully working parser and a prototype for the linter right now.
The current objectives are:
* A MVP (Most Viable Product) for the linter.
* Improve the parser for real usage. Areas include:
* Performance
* API
* Pass more conformance tests
## Linter
The linter is fast to the extent that it feels broken.
With a few rules implemented, testing in the [VSCode](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode) repo:
```
vscode  main npx oxidation-compiler@latest lint src
Checked 3479 files in 335ms using 12 cores.
Found 17 errors.
```
And also in a large monorepo:
```
Checked 73660 files in 7415ms using 12 cores.
Found 470 errors.
```
On my Intel i7 6-core, the linter is around 84 times faster than ESLint.
But we'll get slightly slower as we add more features.
See [benchmark](./benchmark/) for details.
### Try it out yourself!
The linter is already usable and it can potentially catch a few mistakes for you:
```
npx oxidation-compiler@latest lint path
```
All feedbacks are welcome.
## Parser Conformance
The `cargo coverage` command currently reports the following summary
```
Test262 Summary:
AST Parsed : 43934/43934 (100.00%)
Babel Summary:
AST Parsed : 2045/2057 (99.42%)
TypeScript Summary:
AST Parsed : 4291/4861 (88.27%)
```
(The parser is failing some of the TypeScript recoverable parser tests.)
