Quality, Speed and New Features
Keeping improving the quality of the code is one of the major goals we strive for. That is not only readability and correctness but also performance and testability.
The project has 35.000 unit tests are running against all support Eclipse releases.
Xtext and Xtend are used in many large projects theses days. We need to focus on improving the user experience. A special focus is performance and snappiness of tools.
New features desired by the community will be added as well. Existing clients should benefit from theses additions automatically if possible.
