At the Huawei Developer Conference 2024, the company debuted its self-developed programming language ‘Cangjie’ for HarmonyOS NEXT. It also launched the official website as well as development documents for its new language.

The official introduction reads that Cangjie is a new-gen programming language that mainly focuses on the following aspects:

• Native Intelligence – With AgentDSL, it supports multi-agent collaboration, simplified symbolic expression, a free combination of modes, and the development of smarter apps.
• Full-scenario – It contains a modular, lightweight, and layered design and can even fit inside the smallest memory. Cangjie runs on domain expansion, metaprogramming, and eDSL technology to support domain-oriented declarative development.
• High performance – It has full concurrent GC for device scenarios, with smoother app threads as well as faster response.
• Powerful security – Integrates Security DNA into language design to help developers focus on business logic as well as avoid putting too much energy into defensive programming. Coding becomes secure.
