So what? Aren't there a million programming languages? Doesn't google have its own language too?
It won't be a secret, nor will it be proprietary. I don't get the relevance
It’s not some super secret plot for tech domination. It’s just interesting, given how Huawei has been forced to develop alternative software and hardware. This is another instance, albeit less forced.
I would like to know why there are so many different programming languages, though.
There’s a lot of programming languages because someone looks at a language and goes “huh, I can do this way better”, rinse repeat until you have 8 bajillion
Looking forward to the time when it is moderately harder to Google problems with characters because "char" is now a programming language.
Some languages have different levels of abstraction, many modern languages are moving towards less-rigorous formatting rules.
Some are based on making lots of subroutines and defining the procedure of how the code is run, while some are based on defining things in terms of the objects in the code and how they are changed during the process.
Some have lots of libraries and are built around easily incorporating already-defined functions.
Some are better adapted to web functions or database management.
Basically different languages are built for different purposes, but also some are easier to use and learn (mainly newer ones).
Sorry meant to reply to the guy above you.
and it's a nice one to write! Although I don't write it anymore, I wish Swift were more prevalent.
Could be interesting if it is Mandarin-based instead of English. There seem to be very few non-English programming languages. It seems like that could potentially make it have widespread adoption in China if it gets a lot of investment.
Is there anything more? They didn’t say anything about the language.
