Bug#743404: RFP: eslint -- tool for static analysis of ECMAScript (JavaScript™) code



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : eslint
  Version         : 0.4.5
  Upstream Author : Nicholas C. Zakas <nicholas+npm@nczconsulting.com>
* URL             : http://eslint.org/
* License         : Expat (MIT)
  Programming Lang: ECMAScript
  Description     : tool for static analysis of ECMAScript (JavaScript™) code

    ESLint is a tool for identifying and reporting on patterns found in
    ECMAScript (JavaScript™) code. It performs static code analysis to find
    common and likely mistakes.
    .
    In many ways, it is similar to JSLint and JSHint with a few exceptions:
    .
    * ESLint uses Esprima for JavaScript parsing.
    * ESLint uses an AST to evaluate patterns in code.
    * ESLint is completely pluggable, every single rule is a plugin and you
      can add more at runtime.

One reason this package is attractive for ECMAScript developers is because
it is a DFSG-free licensed linter; the two most popular linters, JSLint and
JSHint, both have non-free licenses that prevent their inclusion in Debian.
