Linters needing a rewrite

[Arcanemagus]

The following linters implement the linter 0.X API and need a rewrite:

• linter-dartanalyzer
• linter-bailey
• linter-flexpmd

The following linters were never implemented:

• linter-phplint

The following repos have been deleted:

• ansible-lint
• linter-twig-lint
• linter-oclitnt
• linter-mcs

The following repos have been deleted, but implemented elsewhere by a third-party:

• linter-kibit -> rgdelato/linter-kibit (@rgdelato)

The following linters have been delisted and archived:

• linter-codscriptizer
• linter-jsl
• linter-recess

And these have been rewritten 🎉:

• linter-bootlint (@Arcanemagus)
• linter-erb (@Arcanemagus)
• linter-erlc (@markbaas)
• linter-pyflakes (@dirk-thomas)
• linter-swiftlint (@keplersj)
• linter-tidy (@Arcanemagus)
• linter-govet (@vzamanillo)
• linter-slim (@vzamanillo)
• linter-gotype (@vzamanillo)
• linter-rst (@vzamanillo)

Turns out linter-haml just looks like the old style, it's actually working currently.

[Arcanemagus]

Looks like I missed linter-erb.

[Arcanemagus]

linter-erb re-written, everything should be updated now! 🎉

[Arcanemagus]

Missed linter-erlc somehow...

[Arcanemagus]

I'm not sure how I generated that list before, but it seriously needs review, going over all the repos looking for this now.

[Arcanemagus]

Added 20 linters to the list 😭.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but linter dropped support for these months ago. So anything that hasn't been updated must not have many users. What is the goal here? To draw attention to unused linters and rewrite them?

[Arcanemagus]

The goal initially is to just document which linters are currently guaranteed to be unusable so they can be evaluated. Some should probably just be completely removed like linter-jsxhint, since it's linter has been deprecated.

You are completely right that if nobody has stepped up to update them so far the user base is probably small. It could be that none of the potential users feel comfortable enough with writing an Atom package to undertake re-writing the linter to work with the new API.

At the worst case, it's a list of something to do when I get bored, which might help somebody who couldn't do it on their own.

[AsaAyers]

I think there were about 178 repositories when I opened all the issues about linter being rewritten. I'm very glad you're taking the initiative to try to get some of that cleaned up. Thanks :)

Yea, would be nice to see the tracking issue, but the link is a 404 now. Trying to see if it can be hunted down as that would be a nice reference.
