Uhm, and that's exactly why it translates to Java and not Byte Code. This way the Java compiler's optimizations can be used instead of having to implement them all by yourself. In addition: Xtend integrates perfectly with Java. so if you think, your Java code would be faster than the code generated from Xtend: Feel free to write Java code. But I personally like the type inference and the google collections and functions (which is used for closures) integration. Oh nearly forgot to mention the operator overloading abilities :)
