Huawei announced the 'Cangjie' programming language developed by the company

Huawei made headlines when it suddenly introduced a programming language platform, Cangjie, at the HDC 2024 developer conference today. The language is being touted as a next-generation option for smart applications in all usage scenarios.

According to Huawei's statement, Cangjie provides 'native intelligence, all-natural scenarios, high performance, and strong security' for programmers. This language will likely be integrated with the Huawei HarmonyOS ecosystem, and provide a user-friendly development experience.

Here are some key features of Cangjie:

1. Natural intelligence : Cangjie has an integrated AgentDSL framework, which provides the ability to flexibly combine natural languages ​​with programming languages. This enables multi-agent collaboration and simplifies symbolic expressions.
2. Overall capabilities : The language is designed to be lightweight and extensible, with a modular design for a variety of scenarios. Cangjie also supports domain-oriented development.
3. High performance : Cangjie can make application flows smoother and response times faster. Additionally, lightweight threads are expected to improve concurrency performance.
4. Strong security : Security is built into the language design framework, helping developers avoid and limit potential security vulnerabilities.

Cangjie is considered a multi-paradigm language, supporting object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles. It also includes features like type inference, generics, and pattern matching to streamline the development process.

For developers concerned about safety, Cangjie provides a static type system and automatic memory management to ensure program stability. Huawei's languages ​​also provide runtime checks to detect errors as well as interoperability between languages.

In terms of concurrency, Cangjie uses lightweight user mode threads and a concurrency object library. These features are designed to simplify development and improve resource utilization.

Performance is another focus for Cangjie. The compiler and runtime are optimized for efficiency, including high-level and backend compilation optimizations, as well as runtime optimization.

Compact runtime design contributes to improved performance and resource efficiency. Additionally, Cangjie provides a comprehensive development toolchain, including debugging, static testing, performance analysis, and testing frameworks.

The Cangjie preview is now available for developers to sign up and explore.
