Refactor all the things!

Learning the syntax is just the first step towards mastering a new language. Idiomatic expressions and good practices must also be adopted to produce code that is both readable and performant.

In this talk, we'll analyse snippets of code and highlight common Scala anti-patterns that make them difficult to understand. We'll also discuss how to refactor them to improve their readability. At the end of this session, you are going to be able to recognise code smells and refactor your code to make it easier to reason about and maintain, as well as avoid common pitfalls and possible bugs.
