What are the best linters for different programming languages?

There are several great linters depending on the programming language. For JavaScript, ESLint is highly recommended. For Python, you might want to use Pylint or Flake8. What languages are you interested in?

I'm mainly working with Java and Python.

For Java, Checkstyle and PMD are popular choices. For Python, Pylint is comprehensive, while Flake8 is great for simplicity. Do you need help setting them up?

Yes, how do I set up ESLint for a JavaScript project?

To set up ESLint, first install it via npm with npm install eslint --save-dev. Then, initialize it with npx eslint --init and follow the prompts to configure it for your project.

Thanks! What about integrating it with my code editor?

Most code editors like VSCode have ESLint extensions. You can install the ESLint extension from the marketplace, and it will automatically lint your code as you write.
