Cleaning up Erlang code is a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it
Thanassis Avgerinos, Konstantinos Sagonas · 2009
This paper describes opportunities for automatically modernizing Erlang applications, cleaning them up, eliminating certain bad smells from their code and occasionally also improving their performance. In addition, we present concrete examples of code improvements and our experiences from using a software tool with these capabilities, tidier, on Erlang code bases of significant size.
