Are there any good alternatives to ESLint? ESLint is now my only dev dependency with hundreds of dependencies of its own.

Biome: https://biomejs.dev/
Also the whole ecosystem around OXS looks very promising: https://oxc.rs/
Both of those have over >400 dependencies each [0] [1] but just in Rust instead - there hasn't been a Rust supply chain attack yet but is this any better? [2]
Admittedly you're not normally downloading the dependencies to your machine as you're often using pre-built binaries, but a malicious package could still run if a version was shipped with it.

Wow that’s terrifying.
