Compatability with Original Java 8 syntax.

[qr6...@gmail.com]

To whom it may concern,

will the Java 8 source code syntax remain directly and completely compatible with Xtend?

That is, will it remain possible to define constructors without new,
or define functions without using def?

While providing the new Xtend syntax and language features, individually,
if programmers wish to invoke those?

The other thing, is that will private, protected, public <unmarked>, and reflection
remain part of java the same?  In other words, will the java rt.jar memory
access classes and function continue to remain intact as well?
Classes like System, Object, Class?

Please reply to me here, when you can!

no, xtend has a different syntax but there are context menu actions paste java code in the editor and convert to xtend code in the package explorer

no and no
