Eclipse Launches New Programming Language

Posted by timothy on from the onslaught-of-new-languages dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Eclipse has launched a website for a new JVM language, called Xtend. It's built with Eclipse's Xtext and compiles directly to Java code, similar to what CoffeeScript does to Javascript. It's not just an announcement but it's already there and useable, including a very feature-rich Eclipse integration."

    We are planning to use this language in our future projects. Now we are searching experienced Xtend-coders with a minimum of 3-5 years experience on Xtend-coding.
