“Biome is the official fork of Rome and it will continue to be Rome’s legacy.”

“Biome is led and maintained by the same people that maintained Rome so far.”

“Not all startups manage to succeed, and Rome Tools Inc. wasn’t one of the lucky ones. Eventually, all the employees were laid off.”

This afternoon/evening I've been trying the new #rometools  .

- It's damn fast.
- It's very easy to configure.
- It still needs some love to properly understand #typescript (For example, it does not distinguish variables from "type variables" in template literal types: https://github.com/rome/tools/issues/3798 )
- I pushed my first small PR  to improve how it's distributed: https://github.com/rome/tools/pull/3800

I just tried out the new #RomeTools formatter, and ho boy is it fast! #RustLang

I hit a few small snags, but was able to configure it in such a way that not very many changes were needed from the way I was formatting with #prettier.

The final blocker for me actually using it is the lack of import ordering, using something similar to https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ianvs/prettier-plugin-sort-imports. There's an issue in the rome GitHub discussing it, so hopefully it'll come soon. 🤞
