I am loving Xtend, and I wanted to say thanks. I wish more people knew about it and the ones who did "know" about it would not brush it off as "barely better than Java". The only problem I have with the language is that no one has released a book for it =).

I agree completely! I should have posted my "thanks" message before my other comments! It's very comfortable to work with Xtend. And having idiomatic Java generated by the compiler is a great safety net for a variety of reasons -- not the least of which is that it's easy to see what the compiler has done, reducing the "surprise" factor that often accompanies advanced inferencing in languages.

+1.
As for the book, I can understand why there isn't any book yet. It is a really time consuming job. I find the official PDF documentation (66 pages) is a good start.
