+## Call to Action: Secure the future maintenance of Xtext & Xtend
+
+As you might have recognized, the number of people contributing to Xtext & Xtend on a regular basis has declined over the past years and so has the number of contributions. At the same time the amount of work for basic maintenance has stayed the same or even increased with the new release cadence of Java and the Eclipse simultaneous release. Briefly: The future maintenance of Xtext & especially Xtend is at risk, at least in the current form and as part of the Eclipse Simrel. If you care, please join the discussion in [https://github.com/eclipse-xtext/xtext/issues/1721](https://github.com/eclipse-xtext/xtext/issues/1721).

 Unlike other JVM languages Xtend has [zero interoperability issues](201_types.html) with Java: Everything you write interacts with Java exactly as expected. At the same time Xtend is much more concise, readable and expressive. Xtend's small library is just a thin layer that provides useful utilities and extensions on top of the Java Development Kit (JDK).
