New features since the August technical preview include optional type-checking while linting, rule configuration support matching typescript-eslint options, inline disable comments, automatic --fix support, and reporting of tsconfig diagnostics. Benchmarks show oxlint with type-aware linting running roughly 8-12x faster than ESLint with typescript-eslint on projects like vuejs/core and outline/outline. Because tsgolint relies on typescript-go, only TypeScript 7.0+ features are supported, so legacy tsconfig options like baseUrl are rejected. Next milestones focus on expanding rule coverage toward the full 59 type-aware rules and improving memory usage for large monorepos ahead of a beta release. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Install oxlint and oxlint-tsgolint, then run oxlint with the --type-aware flag, for example npx oxlint --type-aware after npm add -D oxlint oxlint-tsgolint@latest. To test a single rule without other configuration, run oxlint --type-aware -A all -D typescript/no-floating-promises with oxlint-tsgolint installed. _Developers rolling out type-aware linting can track oxlint's evolving setup steps on daily.dev._ ### How much faster is oxlint's type-aware linting than ESLint with typescript-eslint? Oxlint with type-aware linting runs roughly 8 to 12 times faster than ESLint with typescript-eslint in benchmark testing. On vuejs/core it completed in 2.531s versus 20.800s, and on outline/outline in 4.448s versus 55.070s, measured on a MacBook Pro M2 Max with 12 cores. _Teams comparing linter performance can follow benchmark updates like this on daily.dev._ ### Why does oxlint report baseUrl as an error in tsconfig.json? Because tsgolint is built on typescript-go, Microsoft's Go-based rewrite that will become TypeScript 7.0, and baseUrl has been removed from TypeScript starting in v7.0. Oxlint's type-aware linter now surfaces tsconfig configuration issues as diagnostics instead of failing silently, flagging removed options like baseUrl for removal. _Developers preparing for TypeScript 7.0 breaking changes can stay ahead of them on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [tsgolint Reaches Stable v7, Bringing Go-Powered Type-Aware Linting to Oxlint](https://daily.dev/posts/tsgolint-reaches-stable-v7-bringing-go-powered-type-aware-linting-to-oxlint-ggpdjtur6) · InfoQ · 18 upvotes · 3 comments - [Fastest Frontend Tooling for Humans & AI](https://daily.dev/posts/fastest-frontend-tooling-for-humans-ai-1cyjijfh9) · Hacker News · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Tales from the Void: July 2026 Recap](https://daily.dev/posts/tales-from-the-void-july-2026-recap-tryxuc4bn) · VoidZero · 29 upvotes · 2 comments --- Tags: [#javascript](https://daily.dev/tags/javascript), [#typescript](https://daily.dev/tags/typescript) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/type-aware-linting-alpha-qdudyyxl1) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Type-Aware Linting Alpha","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/type-aware-linting-alpha-qdudyyxl1","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/type-aware-linting-alpha-qdudyyxl1"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:21:27.912Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:39:22.593Z","description":"Oxlint's type-aware linting has reached alpha status, adding 43 type-aware rules (like no-floating-promises and no-misused-promises) powered by tsgolint, a...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/a59c09c1e230b487f23c593565b61064?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/a59c09c1e230b487f23c593565b61064?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Oxc","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Oxc","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--Pja5Wjr4--/c_limit,w_256/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487464/logos/oxc?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/oxc"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/type-aware-linting-alpha-qdudyyxl1","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"javascript,typescript","timeRequired":"PT7M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Oxc","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/oxc"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Type-Aware Linting Alpha"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/type-aware-linting-alpha-qdudyyxl1#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I enable type-aware linting in oxlint?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Install oxlint and oxlint-tsgolint, then run oxlint with the --type-aware flag, for example npx oxlint --type-aware after npm add -D oxlint oxlint-tsgolint@latest.
