The Cangjie Programming Language UK Team

At GSTS 2026 in Hong Kong, Prof. Feng Xinyu laid out a framework for how programming languages must evolve under the dual-brain computing model: Spec Languages, traditional languages as agent backends, and Agent-Native Languages built on Algebraic Effects — with Cangjie's roadmap towards formal verification and effect types.

Dong Xin at AICon 2026 Shanghai laid out how engineering organisations must evolve — not which AI tools to adopt — through three frameworks: ACE, Human IO Loop, and ATM, backed by cases from the Cangjie team's production deployments since 2025.

At HDC 2026's programming language forum, Dong Xin and Liu Junjie presented the ACE paradigm, CangjieSkills, ACE Harness, and real production results: a 12,000-line XML library in two days, a full HarmonyOS app with 95% AI-generated code, and an automated issue analysis pipeline running daily in production.

Meituan Crowdsourcing built its HarmonyOS app entirely in Cangjie, and used that foundation to create a complete bidirectional text-to-voice and voice-to-text system for hearing-impaired delivery riders — no extra hardware, no workarounds.

130 students showed up for a Cangjie talk the week before finals. The NJU visit covered the full AI-native stack — CangjieSkills, OpenCode, ACE Harness — and converted around 100 first-time open-source contributors on the day.

At HDC 2026's HarmonyOS Star Walk showcase, three independent teams — an international student duo, a 15-year-old aviation enthusiast, and a couple building tools for their hobby — showed what a Cangjie ecosystem looks like when it is actually working.

At HDC 2026 in Dongguan, Cangjie announced full open-sourcing of its AI stack, debuted accessibility tools giving hearing-impaired delivery riders a voice, and showcased partner performance upgrades — a language that spans from AI infrastructure to human-centred care.

Two standout sessions from OHDC 2026 in Guangzhou, Sean Dong on Agent Centric Engineering and Prof. Yin Zhang on AI-native Cangjie education, converge on a single premise: execution is no longer the bottleneck, judgment is.

Cangjie 1.1.0 brings cross-platform runtime support for Android and iOS, a central package registry, cross-platform language syntax, and major toolchain and standard library improvements.

The Cangjie Partner & Developer Conference arrived in Shenzhen, bringing together government, industry, academia, and open-source communities to advance Cangjie's ecosystem and multi-industry adoption.

Paul Jansen, founder and CEO of TIOBE Software, visited the Cangjie UK team in Edinburgh to share insights on programming language popularity and Cangjie's international growth.

The official Cangjie Central Repository is now live, bringing version management, centralised package discovery, and automatic dependency resolution to the Cangjie ecosystem.

Exciting news for the global developer community! The official English edition of the Cangjie Programming digital textbook is now live on Huawei ICT Academy.
