Xtend is a statically-typed programming languages for Java developers.
It leverages Java's typesystem and reuses its syntax as far as possible, but cuts down the amount of boilerplate you have to write. It compiles to readable Java source code and supports advanced language constructs, such as:
- lambda expressions,
- type inference,
- template expressions,
- operator overloading and
-
extension methods.
And of course it comes with advanced Eclipse-IDE support

What a nice plug-in! It's saves me a few minutes every time I code, but if calculate for a year it's a full day of work... Cool.
