“An Overview of Cangjie Programming Language” is now published in the Journal of Computer Science and Technology (JCST), one of China’s leading computer science journals indexed by SCI.
What the research covers
- Statically typed and compiled: robust type inference powered by modern compiler frontend techniques
- CHIR: a language-specific high-level IR for semantics-aware optimization
- Concurrent compacting GC and lightweight user-mode threads: performance at scale
- Extensibility-first design: type extension, macro programming, and a clean C-FFI
- LLVM-based backend: extended with GC intrinsics and Cangjie-specific passes
Early results
Preliminary results show performance competitive with other application-level languages.
