Erlang is getting pretty!

View slides

How much time did you spend today reading code? How many times did you have to look harder because of how the code looked?

Maintaining a clear and consistent code style is hard: manual inspections often leads to endless bikeshedding and linters add noticeable overhead to the workflow. Many languages solved this issue through automated code formatters - Go, Rust, Elixir, Elm among many others. And now, thanks to the new erlfmt tool, Erlang is getting pretty as well!

Come to this session to learn more about erlfmt - how it works and how it can help your team.
