Unused Imports
2024-11-14

Saw this comment of Mark Miller sharing why removing unused imports is handy. And I think he is right because:

  • Clutter: Extra type imports add lines that don’t need to be there, making the code look messier. This can make it harder to quickly see which types are actually being used.

  • Search Confusion: When searching for where a type is being used or who is meaningfully importing it, extra unused imports can lead to misleading search results.

  • Clean Code: Removing unused imports helps keep the code clean and simple, which makes it easier to read, work with, and update without errors later.
