Huawei Really Knows How to Name Things

Before discussing whether this programming language is good or bad, let me praise the language's name first.

When naming tech products, Huawei consciously incorporates traditional Chinese cultural elements, especially drawing inspiration from ancient Chinese mythology and legends.

Here's a summary of Huawei's tech product names from classical Chinese:

1. Kirin (麒麟): Huawei's smartphone chip series, named "Kirin" — in ancient China, the Qilin was considered an auspicious mythical beast, symbolizing good fortune and power.

2. Kunpeng (鲲鹏): Huawei's PC processor chip, named "Kunpeng" — Kunpeng is a giant fish and bird in ancient Chinese mythology, symbolizing transformation and infinite potential.

3. Hongmeng (鸿蒙): Huawei's operating system, named "Hongmeng" — Hongmeng in ancient Chinese mythology represents the chaotic state when the universe first opened, symbolizing creation and infinite possibilities.

4. Kunlun (昆仑), Penglai (蓬莱), Xuanyuan (轩辕), Taishan (泰山): Huawei's cloud server names, taken from mountain names in the Classic of Mountains and Seas (山海经), symbolizing lofty ambitions and exploration spirit.

5. Dangkang (当康), Qingniao (青鸟), Taotie (饕餮), Huangma (黄马): Huawei's chip names, taken from mythical beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, symbolizing auspiciousness and infinite imagination of future technology.

6. Zhurong (祝融), Chongli (重黎), Dayu (大禹), Jingwei (精卫): Huawei's patent names, taken from characters or deity names in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, symbolizing courage, determination, and innovative spirit.

These names not only reflect Huawei's respect and inheritance of traditional culture, but also showcase its product philosophy and corporate culture, combining ancient mythology with modern technology to create a unique brand identity.

How Is This Language?

A comment from yesterday's article is quite sharp, 👇

• "A holy-level language that's a four-way hybrid of C + JS + Rust + Python"

I won't show more comments — you can go see them in the article, or just try it out with the getting started manual~
