C# has StyleCop, which is amazing. Visual studio will also recommend C# 7 syntax improvements by default and has a static code analysis tool built in.

Css has stylelint, which is okay.

As others have said, ESlint is great for JS. I like Typescript too - don't need to actually use TS syntax to get benefits. Webpack or another tool that expects modular code helps with devs making architectural mistakes (things that would be possible with grunt, for example).

There are some VS extensions for SQL, but the tooling isn't using roslyn, so not friendly.

Generally, editor.config is an additional option.
