As you might know Java 8 will finally bring an important new feature to the Java programming language : Lambda Expressions, a feature already supported by many other languages, such as Xtend Xtend is a statically typed JVM language that translates to readable Java source code. It's very different to other JVM languages in the sense that aims to be a better Java by better supporting existing Java idioms and fully supporting the existing ecoystem. Xtend doesn't force you to rewrite your existing Java apps or drop your beloved and well-proven frameworks, but instead allows for using existing Java APIs in a much nicer way without any interoperability issues. In contrast to e.g. Scala or Clojure it is more like an extension to Java than a replacement.
