Chapter 205: Open Source or Closed Source
In the next few hours, Yang Lin developed a small software with the matrix language development kit and ran it on his MatrixI. mobile phone, the software as a whole fits very well with the MatrixOS operating system, and the operation of this software is as smooth as operating the MatrixOS itself, which greatly increases Yang Lin's confidence in the matrix language.
However, after the technical problems of the matrix language are solved, the next thing Yang Lin needs to consider is the business problem of this language.
If from a technical point of view, we can divide computer language into machine language, assembly language, and high-level language, then from a business point of view, we can also divide it into open source language and patent language.
This is easy to understand, a programming language is actually a kind of software, and open source software has the same meaning, and the so-called open source programming language is a programming language that you can modify and improve by yourself, and the patent language is controlled by relevant vendors.
JUST LIKE THE LAWSUIT BETWEEN ORACLE AND GOOGLE OVER ANDROID, ORACLE OWNS THE JAVA LANGUAGE, AND MOST OF GOOGLE'S APPS ARE DEVELOPED BY JAVA, WHICH ALSO LEADS TO PATENT INFRINGEMENT.
YEARS OF LITIGATION BETWEEN THE TWO GIANTS HAVE LED TO CONCERNS ABOUT PATENT ISSUES IN THE JAVA LANGUAGE, SO THEY LOOKED FOR AN OPEN-SOURCE, VENDOR-INDEPENDENT LANGUAGE THAT WOULD AVOID TYING THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS TO THE COMMERCIAL STANDARDS OF A SINGLE COMPANY LIKE ORACLE.
No company wants to be tied to the demands or dictates of another company.
Fungible supply chains, multi-company collective action, and the use of open source standards are all commonly circumvented methods internationally.
Otherwise, some companies can easily be locked into one company's products.
But this is not the case with the matrix language, which is almost irreplaceable for MatrixOS developers. Yang Lin is fully capable of demanding that all software developers in the world be bound to the framework of the matrix language.
But there is a big problem with this, that is, the matrix language is compared with the current popular C/C++, JAVA, VB and other languages in the world. With a completely different syntax and function system, anyone who wants to use this language. You have to start from scratch.
Therefore, if the matrix language chooses to be closed source, other developers need to buy development tools from matrix digital, and end users need to pay for matrix digital licensing, it may become a big obstacle to the promotion of matrix language.
Yang Lin couldn't help frowning.
Let him open source the matrix language, he himself is not reconciled, but if it is not open source, how to promote it?
Although Yang Lin had long decided to develop the Chinese (English, French, German, Italian, Japanese) on the basis of the matrix language, ... Language programming, but that's just to promote the use of programming languages, some really big professional software. It still needs to be written in a matrix language.
Therefore, popularizing the matrix language among programmers is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
"Maybe I should convene another meeting of major downstream software vendors."
Yang Lin's eyes couldn't help narrowing.
He had no doubts about the success of matrix languages.
History has already seen such examples.
In the 90s, one of the most popular languages for all kinds of enterprise development was VisualBasic (VB).
The entire VB ecosystem is managed, controlled, and planned by Microsoft.
Despite being completely dominated, companies have invested millions of dollars in developing VB software, and they see tremendous value in this type of software development.
Therefore, for Matrix Digital, it is necessary to let the major downstream software manufacturers see the benefits in the middle!
"Okay. That's it! ”
Just as Yang Lin made up his mind, the bedroom door suddenly opened.
"Husband, I'm back!"
Lin Qingya pushed the door and entered, and saw that Yang Lin was still busy in front of the computer. Curiously, he walked over and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"Hehe, nothing, just finished a little software. It's being tested now! ”
Yang Lin glanced back at Lin Qingya, and then turned his gaze to the computer screen. Soon, though, he turned his head away. As if she had discovered a new world, she looked at Lin Qingya, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Qingya, have you changed your hairstyle?" ”
Lin Qingya smiled charmingly, blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Well, is it good-looking?" ”
"Beautiful! Pretty! The daughter-in-law is the most beautiful! ”
Yang Lin sighed, pulled Lin Qingya into his arms and sat down, and said with a smile: "Come, let my husband take a good look!" ”
"Dead to death!"
Lin Qingya's face was red, but she still sat on Yang Lin's lap obediently.
In the past, Lin Qingya had always combed an ordinary ponytail, although this did not affect her beautiful appearance, but after watching too much, there would always be aesthetic fatigue.
But today's Lin Qingya gave Yang Lin a surprise, her hair was obviously specially straightened and neatly draped behind her head, and a neat row of bangs was specially combed on her forehead, covering her eyebrows and covering her smooth forehead.
Although it is only a small change, it has made Lin Qingya's temperament a huge change, if Lin Qingya gave people a noble and elegant lady style in the past, but today it gives people a girl-next-door feeling.
Yang Lin couldn't help but feel excited.
Lin Qingya was a little embarrassed by his hot eyes, although the two had had many intimate contacts, but every time Yang Lin looked at her like this, she would be shy.
"Husband, don't ...... Don't look at me like that! ”
"Baby, you're so beautiful!"
Yang Lin hooked Lin Qingya's chin and choked her red lips.
"Hmm-"
Lin Qingya's eyes closed slightly, and she couldn't help but cater to Yang Linlai.
Just when both of them were a little excited, the door opened again, and Yang Ying recklessly broke in, and as soon as she called brother, her eyes instantly widened, and she said loudly: "Ah, I didn't see anything, you go on!" ”
With that, Yang Ying hurriedly pushed out of the room.
Yang Lin and Lin Qingya were startled, and hurriedly looked at the door separately.
Seeing that the door was closed by Yang Ying again, Yang Lin smiled and said, "Come, Qingya, let's continue!" ”
Where did Lin Qingya still have the mind to continue, and said with a red face: "The big villain, they have all been seen by Xiaoying, if you are not ashamed, I will be ashamed!" ”
She broke away from Yang Lin's embrace, kissed Yang Lin on the forehead, and said with a smile: "Good, I'll go down first, and I'll reward you at night!" (To be continued......)
