Anyone know what programming language will apps for Harmony OS Next need to be written in? Currently native Android apps are written in Java and iOS apps are written in Objective C or Swift.

New Chinese programming language Cangjie and (Ark) Typescript.

I think I have seen someone working on Flutter/Dart to be able to crossbuild to Harmony OS. Probably React Native will follow as well.

TypeScript and not JavaScript?? As in the runtime would interpret TypeScript directly without transpiling into JavaScript?

I don't know the details but It is possible. Android only used the Java syntax but ran on a "Android Runtime." Huawei is adopting the Typescript syntax but not the Javascript Runtime engine.

But doesn't that exclude Javascript libraries from being used? And is that the intention?
