I see there are different type of changes being apply in this PR( Ex: newer syntax of switch statement, getter substitution....etc) , should we separate these into multiple PR, under the same Github issue for the code clean up initiative?
This will make review easily along also for better tracking.

I agree with @andy-k-improving lets split this into smaller chunks ...

I'm not sure what the established process is for this (or if there is one), but my fear is that this would create a lot of overhead, and probably discourage developers (myself included) from taking on any "ad hoc" cleanup tasks if we need to create a new branch and new PR for each "type" of cleanup change.

These are "Quick Fixes" suggested by IntelliJ to warnings that the IDE itself generates, so they are intended to be uncontroversial changes. Moreover, these are just files that I happened to open (and notice these warnings) while working on other issues (rather than a comprehensive effort to fix one or more particular types of warning). My general thought is that we should be encouraging developers to do minor cleanup "as they go", rather than waiting for "big bang" dedicated cleanup work -- which tends to get done infrequently, if at all...

Will post on Slack to see if anyone else on the team has thoughts!

Okay, sounds good. I will close and create new separate PRs for each issue.
