Three things your linter shouldn’t tell you

Bento is a newly released code check tool developed by r2c that aims to streamline the code review process by focusing only on significant issues and ignoring less critical style or preference violations. It addresses common developer frustrations by disabling checks that are often deemed unnecessary, such as style violations handled by formatters like Black and Prettier, unpopular checks based on mined data from open-source projects, and "bad checks" with high false-positive rates. By leveraging their at-scale code analysis platform, r2c has tailored Bento to minimize distractions and enhance the efficiency of code checking, allowing developers to focus on meaningful improvements in their code quality. With its default configuration, Bento disables many stylistic and preference-related checks for tools like ESLint and Flake8, and it is designed to evolve by identifying which checks developers prioritize through real-world application analysis.
