Finally, Huawei has unveiled a brand new OS namely as HarmonyOS at the Developer Conference 2019. Since a long time, we all have heard that the Chinese manufacturing giant Huawei is working on an Android alternative. We have also heard the name like HongMeng OS, Ark OS, Oak OS, etc. Now, it is official that it will be called as “HarmonyOS” as announced by the company at the Huawei Developer Conference 2019.
According to Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei, “HarmonyOS is the first MicroKenel-Based distributed OS For all scenarios”
HarmonyOS
HarmonyOS is a microkernel-based operating system which means it will use as few resources as possible, ensuring fast operating speeds and minimum latency levels. He also added that the HarmonyOS is designed to work on devices with RAM sizes ranging from kilobytes to gigabytes. This OS is compatible with HTML5, Linux, and Android apps also but there is more development needed yet.
The new OS uses Huawei’s ARK compiler. This support almost all programming languages like Kotlin, Java, Javascript, C, and C++. It’s open-source and also has a verified Trusted Execution Environment for better-connected security across multiple devices. So, to migrate to the new HarmonyOS “is not that difficult.”.
