Plans for the future ~ What YOU can do!

And so my fellow SWT-students: Ask not what SwaLint can do for you, ask what you can do for SwaLint!

Just kidding, here is a list of ideas that could be done/improved in the future

  • Improve Autolinting

    • Add the ability to ignore possible defects found by the autolinter. This should not be done globally and have a GUI support.
    • Only lint "real" changes and not all observed classes to improve performance.
  • Smalltalk CI integration

    • An integration with SmalltalkCI so that commits fail when the linter finds defects for the project.
    • Ignoring of defects is necessary for this.
  • System browser integration

  • Automated fixing

    • For simple rules (e.g. dotsAfterReturnConsistency) the linter should suggest an automated fix.
  • And as always there are plenty of things to improve and refactor!
