According to the news, on March 16, Huawei Programming Language Lab released a trial registration questionnaire for some developers, and said that after the questionnaire was completed, the follow-up information would be notified by email.
Cang Xie is the creator of primitive hieroglyphics. According to records, Cang Xie's inspiration, classification, collection, arrangement and use of the footprints of birds and animals played an important role in the creation of Chinese characters, and he was known as the "sage of word creation".
The programming language independently developed by Huawei coincides with the "sage of word-making" and is named after "Cang Xie", which is profound and just right, and has a profound historical and cultural heritage in China.
Because of this, many people speculate that it will be a programming language with pure Chinese characters and pure Chinese logic, that is, "let China people program with their own Chinese characters". It was named "Cang Xie" not only because Cang Xie was the creator of the original hieroglyphs in China, but also because Huawei wanted to re-establish a technical ecology based on Chinese characters.
Huawei Cang Xie is a self-developed programming language announced by Huawei at the 20021Developers Conference. From Ark translator to HarmonyOS system, Huawei has been on the road of independent research and development. Developing Cang Xie programming language is also of great significance to Huawei itself.
In fact, Huawei is not the first company to develop its own programming language.
As we all know, it is not easy to build a system, and the most important thing is to build an ecology. How to be more stable after building an ecology is to have its own compilation language, and a language can form a closed loop.
At present, successful systems basically have their own special languages, such as Apple's Swift, Google's DART, Microsoft's TypeScript and so on. , are all programming languages independently developed by enterprises. Huawei HarmonyOS system naturally has its own programming language.
With Cang Xie, a brand-new self-developed programming language, the ecological infrastructure construction of HarmonyOS system has made up the last link. Huawei's entire ecosystem is basically completed: hardware+operating system+Ark editor+Cang Xie programming language.
There are as many as 600 programming languages in the world, but at present, we are familiar with these programming languages: C, C++, Java, Python, PHP, but these are all developed by foreign enterprises.
If the Cang Xie programming language independently developed by Huawei is successful, it will undoubtedly break the monopoly of foreign countries, create a programming language belonging to China and establish a software development ecology belonging to China.
This is very important for China's computer ecology, because building a recognized ecology means being able to take the initiative in the computer field. Some foreign media commented that Cang Xie will definitely change history!
Huawei loves the traditional culture of China.
I don't know if you have noticed that the names of Huawei products are very interesting and meaningful. Apply ancient culture to the extreme!
For example:
Huawei developed its own operating system, named "HarmonyOS System";
Huawei's mobile phone chip is named "Kirin";
Huawei's baseband chip, named "Ba Long";
Huawei's server chip, named "Kun Peng";
Huawei's artificial intelligence chip, named "Shengteng";
Huawei's server platform is named "Taishan";
Huawei's router chip, named "Lingxiao";
……
All the beasts in The Classic of Mountains and Seas, including Suzaku, Jade Bird, Lingxi, Hongyan, Zi Long, Weifeng, Xuan Ji, White Tiger, Danque, Sea Blue Beast and Purple Star, are under Huawei's control.
The combination of ancient fantasy animals, ancient culture and the most advanced technology also shows the romance of Huawei technicians.
Huawei has not released much information about Cang Xie. Although the trial needs to be confidential, from the perspective of development, it should not take too long to wait. Not too distant future, maybe Chinese programming?
Let's wait and see!
