Kind: release · Impact: medium

## In brief

- Oxlint now supports JS plugins, allowing custom ESLint-style rules to run in Oxlint.
- The article says teams often stay on ESLint because of custom rules, such as rules in eslint-local-rules/, eslint-plugin-testing-library, and a SonarJS rule.
- The article is a DEV Community post, and the sources provided do not include details on setup or rule API.

## Why it matters

Teams that rely on custom ESLint rules may be able to move to Oxlint without rewriting those rules, which could make Oxlint a practical replacement for ESLint.
