@manpacket you can use a generic argument of type `impl Borrow<str>` or something of that effect, no? Then you can cover both use cases with a single signature.

Many towns in Sussex, South England felt abandoned, as Mrs. Cleyton had skipped them on her yearly visitations. But 2026 is promising to be different...

🥳 Today, we are happy and grateful to make a special announcement regarding the continuation of our support for GritQL.
Since Biome 2.0, GritQL plugins have been supported as a mechanism to add custom linter rules for Biome. We took a gamble here, as GritQL was being pioneered by Morgante Pell and the future of the language was still uncertain.
Now, we're excited to share that Morgante and @honeycombio have graciously agreed to donate the GritQL repositories to Biome.

Trump’s so-called peace deals are falling apart fast, and it’s no surprise. While he brags about ending eight wars and blames Zelensky for blocking his “biggest breakthrough,” the truth is simpler, he strong-arms sides into shaky truces without fixing the real issues. From Gaza to Congo to Thailand, violence keeps flaring up.
It's not peace, it's PR.

The other day, someone online “accused” me of writing a religion with my Philosophy of Balance.
I don’t know if there are others who feel the same way, so I think this is something I want to address: Yes, the Philosophy of Balance is intended to help people find God, Love, Nature, Spirituality, or whatever word works for you. No, I don’t think that implies I’m writing a religion.

No ETA for a release yet, but I feel 2026 will be a great year!

Happy to be reviewing things for @biomejs again this morning. Every time I come back to this project it feels like a breath of fresh air. Maybe some more hacking in the afternoon!
