Exploring code smells in Elixir by Elaine Watanabe | Code BEAM Europe 2023

✨This talk was recorded at Code BEAM Europe 2023. If you're curious about our upcoming event, check https://codebeameurope.com ✨

Abstract:

Code smells are indicators of potential design problems in software code. They can impact maintainability, readability, and overall code quality.

While code smells have been extensively studied in object-oriented programming languages, their applicability and identification in functional programming languages like Elixir remain a fascinating area of exploration.

In this talk, we will dive into the world of Elixir and uncover code smells that may arise in its codebase. We will explore the traditional code smells (including the newly cataloged Elixir-specific code smells), discuss their impact on Elixir applications, and provide practical insights into refactoring techniques to eliminate them.
