This is the release page for X10 2.6.0.

The main features of this release are X10 language extensions to enhance the support for defining embedded DSLs in X10.

  • The X10 language now includes an overloading mechanism for redefining or extending the behavior of control structures. For more details, refer to the language manual section on user-defined control structures or the X10'16 paper "Control structure overloading in X10".
  • The X10 language now supports trailing closures. A trailing closure is a closure block that is written and after the parentheses of a function call. This closure block is passed as a closure without argument to the function.
Please see the Release Notes for details.
