Yagni – Leiningen plugin for finding dead code

Yagni is a static code analyzer that helps you find unused code in your applications and libraries.

Yagni works by identifying all of the interned vars and declared Java classes in the namespaces findable within your :source-paths, and then walking the forms of those vars and declarations.

As it walks the forms, it builds a graph of references to other vars and declarations. It then searches the graph from a set of entrypoints (by default your project’s :main method), and emits warnings for anything that it couldn’t find in the graph’s search.

This is free and open source software.
