Historique du projet

Biome's predecessor was Rome, whose GitHub repository was created in 2020 and is now archived with the description 'Unified developer tools for JavaScript, TypeScript, and the web'. The Biome repository was created in July 2023, and the official blog includes an 'Announcing Biome' entry during that transition.

Biome shipped its CLI v1.0.0 in August 2023. The official package README describes it as the 'Toolchain of the web', with a formatter, linter, CLI, LSP/editor integration, WebAssembly playground, and a goal of unifying functions that had previously been separate tools.

The v2 line arrived in June 2025, followed by frequent 2.x releases. By the v2.5 blog post in June 2026, the project said Biome had crossed 500 lint rules and added features such as plugin code fixes, cross-file linting, watcher mode, and new formatter options.

Historique d'adoption

Biome's adoption is visible in several official/project-backed signals: the README advertises npm, VS Code Marketplace, Open VSX, Discord, sponsorship, Open Collective, and enterprise support surfaces; the GitHub repository has tens of thousands of stars; and the input package metadata lists Homebrew, Alpine/apk, Nix, Arch/pacman, Scoop, Winget, and openSUSE/zypper.

It grew by addressing a common package-manager pain point in web projects: replacing formatter, linter, import organization, diagnostics, and editor wiring with one fast native binary and one configuration model.

Modes d'utilisation

The README documents package usage through `npm install --save-dev --save-exact @biomejs/biome`, then commands such as `biome format --write`, `biome lint --write`, `biome check --write`, and `biome ci`. It also notes an online WebAssembly playground and first-class LSP/editor usage.

Biome is commonly used as a project-local development dependency in JavaScript and TypeScript repos, but package managers such as Homebrew make the standalone CLI convenient for editor integrations, monorepo tooling, and system-level developer setups.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Biome is package-nerd significant because it is part of the post-Node-script era of JavaScript tooling: a single native binary, written in Rust, distributed through npm and OS package managers, doing work that historically meant wiring together Prettier, ESLint, typescript-eslint, import tools, JSON formatters, and editor plugins.

It also carries the Rome lineage without requiring users to care about that history. For maintainers and package curators, Biome is the rare web tool that wants to be both npm-native and distro-friendly: fast executable, clear releases, editor extensions, configuration docs, and no requirement that Node.js be present for manual installation.
