Xtend is a general-purpose programming language built on top of Java. It's part of the Eclipse Xtext project, which offers tools for developing programming languages and domain-specific languages (DSLs). Xtend comes with features such as type inference, lambda expressions, extension methods (similar to C#), operator overloading, template expressions facilitating code generation, and switch expressions. The language is designed to reduce the verbosity often associated with Java code while maintaining full interoperability with existing libraries written in Java. This makes it popular for writing concise yet readable code within the Eclipse ecosystem or wherever Java runs without requiring developers to manage additional dependencies.
