Eclipse Xtend: A Language Made for Java Developers

Xtend is a statically typed programming language hosted at Eclipse.org. It reuses Java syntax, terminology, and concepts as much as possible but abandons some dead freight at the same time. Xtend is not meant to replace Java altogether but focuses on improving the weaker parts. Therefore, the language as well as the state-of-the-art Eclipse tooling integrate nicely with existing Java code.
This session demonstrates why Xtend is so great for everyday programming. You'll get an in-depth impression of the seamless integration with the Eclipse Java IDE, and you'll get an idea of the expressiveness and conciseness of Xtend.
