The vue/block-lang rule says

disallow use other than available lang

However, the rule doesn't perform a check if the script tag is missing.

It also says:

This rule disallows the use of languages other than those available in the your application for the lang attribute of block elements.

Which could imply that the check shouldn't be performed if the script tag is omitted. However, then the rule is not fulfilling its purpose, which is to force TypeScript (or another language) in all Vue SFCs.

I am using TypeScript with

• tsconfig.json > vueCompilerOptions.strictTemplates: true
• @typescript-eslint

And so I want linting and type checking in all templates. This only happens if I specify <script lang="ts"> in all my .vue files. But my team is able to circumvent this in some components where the <script> tag is not otherwise needed.
