Huawei's HarmonyOS system will no longer be compatible with Android applications. NetEase, Meituan, and other companies are urgently recruiting HarmonyOS developers.
harmonyos is almost aosp where they did a “search and replace” for “android” strings
i understood “HarmonyOS NEXT” is different, if it’s not rewritten from scratch then it’s a waste of time+money, forcing devs to port apps for “it’s almost the same but it’s a bit different” it’s not a smart idea
Could be worse. I’d take a Java 7 over Objective-C any day of the day.
Also what exactly is stopping developers from using Kotlin? It compiles to the same bytecode. Is there a framework that can’t be imported? I thought IntelliJ handed all of that, not Google.

IntelliJ IDE’s will convert automatically if you paste Java into a Kotlin file.
