Refactoring is a mainstream programming practice now, but it's been 20 years since the first refactoring tool (Refactoring Browser) was released. This talk briefly outlines the evolution of refactoring in the last few decades and follows up with a discussion on what's happening now in the world of refactoring and what lies ahead. Topics covered: architecture refactoring, new kinds of refactoring tools, refactoring in the context of CI/CD (DevOps), refactoring other than code (e.g., databases), and refactoring for IaC (Infrastructure as Code).
