Beyond the mobile duopoly: open ecosystem, open language - Eclipse Oniro and Cangjie

This talk, presented by Dan Ghica and Jaroslaw Marek from HUAWEI, explores the potential of open source operating systems and programming languages in reducing dependency on dominant mobile platforms. It examines alternatives to the existing mobile ecosystem, highlighting OpenHarmony as an open source operating system and Eclipse Oniro as its European distribution, which focuses on vendor-neutrality and local governance. The speakers address challenges in the application ecosystem and propose strategies such as cross-platform frameworks and AI-assisted development to enhance application portability. The talk also introduces Cangjie, an open source programming language tailored for the OpenHarmony ecosystem, emphasizing safety, performance, and cross-platform capabilities, while advocating for a full-stack approach to build adaptable and scalable software solutions.
