What are some good alternatives to traditional linters?

There are several alternatives to traditional linters, such as Prettier for code formatting, ESLint for JavaScript, and SonarQube for comprehensive code quality analysis.

Can you explain how Prettier works?

Prettier is an opinionated code formatter that enforces a consistent style by parsing your code and re-printing it with its own rules. It supports many languages and integrates well with various editors.

What about tools for static code analysis?

For static code analysis, tools like SonarQube, CodeClimate, and Coverity are great options. They analyze code for potential errors, code smells, and security vulnerabilities.

Are there any tools that combine linting and formatting?

Yes, tools like ESLint can be configured to handle both linting and formatting, especially when used with plugins like Prettier.
