   "A preprocessor to give me Java 8 lambda syntax would probably solve all the issues I have with Java right now." Xtend seems to do this and more http://blog.efftinge.de/2012/12/java-8-vs-xtend.html

   Groovy has a lot of interop issues. The dynamic resolution of overloaded methods being just one example. Xtend is much more interoperable as it binds at compile-time just like Java does and uses the exact same type system.

   Eclipse with http://xtext.org is an outstanding platform for domain-specific languages and domain-specific tools. I don't know any tool which comes even close.
