Hello Yash,

So you are proving my point with your feedback. What do I mean by that?

You are focusing on things like the below and then you are submitting
a patch accordingly.
- use lambda expressions
- Type inference
- Using quotes
- whatever else pattern you seek

My recommendation instead is to rework this into:
- I want to refactor this class, and make sure all the code is cleaned up.
- I want to make sure all the methods in this class have a correct
simple signature and I need to make sure everything else works
- These three classes over there are responsible for initiating X, but
they are too complex and have many flaws, we need to set public fields
to private and do A B C ...

The difference between the two above approaches is subtle but very
important. In the first case you are looking at a pattern and you want
to apply it everywhere. The problem is that with this mentality you
are not looking deeply into the code because you are focused on the
pattern. In the second case, you are in fact isolating a single class
or group of related classes and refactoring them very carefully, you
don't care about patterns, you just want to improve the code.

My recommendation is to change the strategy such that your refactoring
one-piece-at-a-time, not one-pattern-at-a-time. I hope this clears up
my perspective
