It covers initializing a workspace, adding executable and library modules, registering them in the workspace configuration, adding source code, building, and running the project. ### Source excerpt The Cangjie package manager cjpm is a cli tool which can be used to setup multi-module projects. A module is simply a folder with a cjpm.toml file - whilst these can also be created by hand, the cli tool simplifies the process. The approach to the setup is to create a cjpm workspace at the project root and then separate module within the workspace. It will look like this: my-project (workspace) -- module-1 -- module-2 -- module-3Create the workspace In the root of your project, initialise a workspace: # create a project folder mkdir cat-pic-downloader cd cat-pic-downloader # initialise the workspace cjpm init --workspace At this stage, your project directory will have a cjpm.toml which is the configuration for your workspace. A newly initialised workspace config will look like this. [dependencies] [workspace] build-members = [] compile-option = "" link-option = "" members = [] target-dir = "" test-members = []Add the modules To add a module to the project, use the cjpm init command but with the options to specify the type of module to create (executable, a static library or a dynamic library). Let's add a couple of modules to our sample project. # create a static lib module called 'downloader' cjpm init --type=static --path downloader # create a static lib module called 'img-processor' cjpm init --type=static --path img_processor # create an executable module called 'runner' cjpm init --type=executable --path runner By default, a newly created module has a src directory and it's own cjpm.toml to configure the module. (Static library modules will have no source code. Executable modules will have a main.cj file.) Add the modules to the workspace So that the workspace is aware of the modules we created, we need to add them to the members field of the workspace's cjpm.toml. Edit the cjpm.toml as follows. [dependencies] [workspace] build-members = [] compile-option = "" link-option = "" members = ["./runner", "./downloader", "./img_processor"] target-dir = "" test-member ## Cangjie -- a programming language from Huawei DevFeed: [Cangjie -- a programming language from Huawei]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Jasper Morgan Published: 2025-08-19T07:37:53Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Snapp Mobile - Medium]() Topics: [Programming language](), [huawei](), [Programming](), [Code](), [Embedded Systems](), [Cross-Compilation](), [Mobile](), [cloud-computing](), [Package Management](), [debug](), [Testing](), [ide]() Tags: [architectures](), [bytecode](), [cangjie](), [china](), [cloud](), [cross-compilation](), [debugging](), [developers](), [development](), [embedded-systems](), [huawei](), [huawei-developers](), [language](), [mobile](), [package-management](), [programming](), [programming-language](), [programming-languages](), [tools]() ### AI overview This article examines Cangjie, an open-sourced programming language from Huawei. It describes Cangjie as a C-like language with features associated with Swift and Kotlin, support for embedded systems, mobile development, and cloud architectures, interoperability with C and Python, JVM bytecode compilation, cross-compilation, and integrated developer tools. The article suggests Huawei created it to gain more control over its language roadmap and consolidate development skills across products. ### Source excerpt Cangjie -- a programming language from Huawei Huawei have been busy. Last month they open-sourced a programming language that is looking pretty interesting. Whilst you might not be writing in Cangjie next week, it's good to see what one of the world's largest technology companies is doing such that they have created a new programming language. TL;DR Cangjie is a C-like programming language that feels more like Swift/Kotlin than Java/C# or JavaScript/Typescript. The idea is for Cangjie to become the common programming language to be used throughout Huawei. Cangjie can be used for embedded systems, mobile development, server-side cloud architectures. It supports a variety of programming paradigms (function, OO, procedural), compilation and integration options. Cangjie can call C libraries (and be called from C), use Python libraries and even compile to JVM bytecode. Cangjie supports language extension to create lightweight DSLs. Primarily Cangjie programs are compiled into machine code -- this include cross compilation which mean they can run natively on different computer architectures. Cangjie comes with a set of in-built tools for developers such as package management, debugging, testing and IDE integration. Cangjie is openly available since this month and is in version 0.53.13. Why create a new language? Simply put, Cangjie gives Huawei a level of control and an economy of scale that they cannot get from other languages. Most mainstream languages are driven predominantly by teams in USA and Europe. It is hard to influence the road map for these languages -- especially for those tightly controlled by corporations (e.g. Java/Kotlin/Swift). Furthermore, consolidating programming skills could be a big efficiency gain for Huawei -- engineers working on products ranging from routers to petabyte storage to cloud computing and mobile devices can coalesce around one language and toolset.
