A blazing-fast modern Lua linter written in Rust with a focus on correctness and minimal configuration.
selene is a modern Lua linter written in Rust that provides fast, accurate static analysis for Lua code. It helps developers identify potential issues and maintain code quality in Lua projects with minimal configuration overhead.
Lua developers and teams working on Lua codebases who need reliable, fast linting tools to maintain code quality and catch potential issues early in development.
Developers choose selene for its exceptional speed due to being written in Rust, its guarantee of correctness (never producing false positives), and its minimal configuration requirements that work well out of the box.

Written in Rust, selene offers exceptional speed and efficiency in linting, as highlighted in the README and key features, making it ideal for large codebases.
Prioritizes never producing false positives, ensuring every diagnostic is accurate and actionable, which reduces noise and builds trust in the tool.
Works well out of the box with sensible defaults, as stated in the README, reducing setup time and complexity for users.
Designed to be simple to extend and modify for custom needs, allowing developers to adapt it to specific project requirements without heavy overhead.
The philosophy of correctness over completeness means selene may miss some potential problems, which could be a drawback for teams needing comprehensive linting.
While extensible, the out-of-the-box rule set might be smaller compared to mature alternatives, potentially requiring custom development for extensive checks.
Being written in Rust, users might need to manage Rust installations or binary distributions, adding setup steps in some environments compared to pure Lua tools.
