We will accept Xtend code as long as it does not slow down the starting

For anyone who does not know Xtend take a look at this video:

The one that I have been using is the model transformation language variant that is maintained by Itemis, and is part of Xpand (<http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/m2t/?project=xpand>). I would never have thought of it as a general-purpose programming language, but that seems to be the thrust of the newer version.
