eslint-plugin-unicorn VS picoc

I recently scanned out codebase with https://github.com/sindresorhus/eslint-plugin-unicorn/blob/main/docs/rules/prefer-set-has.md and found many instances of potential "accidentally quadratic" uses of array.includes instead. gas a nice autofix to convert to set. there are some fun and sometimes useful lint rules out there...

There’s an ESLint rule for that (albeit in a plugin)

Many popular eslint configs have even introduce rules to warn on its usage for these very reasons.

eslint-plugin-unicorn

I find eslint-plugin-unicorn package pretty useful for updating old code. With IE11 dead and NodeJS v12 LTS sunsetting soon, it's a brave new world.

Default parameters should not be passed to a function through an object literal. The foo = {a: false} parameter works fine if only used with one option. As soon as additional options are added, you risk replacing the whole foo = {a: false, b: true} object when passing only one option: {a: true}. For this reason, object destructuring should be used instead. Linter rule

and picoc, but it also features interactive shell

I would like to try this C REPL: https://github.com/jpoirier/picoc

You can. People have written an interpreter for C, and you could write a compiler for Python.

Yeah, I would not choose to learn the C-shell simply because it shares a letter with the compiled language. You might be better served learning Pike or PicoC.

But don't get caught up in the VM definition, the whole act of compiling to VM bytecode and then to native is just another step in the chain. For example here is a C interpreter that lets you do the same thing, without intermediate bytecode.

Can we please cut the bullshit. By that logic no language is compiled. Because behold, a C interpreter: https://github.com/jpoirier/picoc

Languages can have a compiler, an interpreter, or both. Just because a language is commonly thought of as 'compiled' doesn't mean you can't write an interpreter for it, or vice versa. There's even C interpreters for crying out loud https://github.com/jpoirier/picoc .
