C++/WinRT is a standard C++ language projection for the Windows Runtime implemented solely in header files. "Where's your head at, you don't make it easy on yourself"

This is actually pretty good, but too little, too late, IMHO. They should have done this initially instead of the C++/CX debacle.

One strategy we are investigating is the ability to transpile .NET code to C++ code that could be compiled with an appropriate C++ compiler for the target platform. If only there was some language that could create native executable programs?!

Which goes on par with the solution for the slowness of garbage collection, which is to not allocate/deallocate memory. If only there were methods to do that manually...

And what happens the moment you wish to have a UI using system defined widgets/gadgets ? Well, okay, Rectangles are universal in the sense they can be defined with a simple struct (assuming you have a co-ordinate system that means something).Quote: You already know some of the places where we have the RyuJIT working nicely: Windows Desktop, Windows Phone, MacOS, and several Linux Desktop distributions all use RyuJIT.
I think these boys talkin' de crazy talk just to get out of their cubicles.

Not being under any such constraints, I'll ask if this whole thing looks all wet to anyone else. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

The universe suddenly looks a lot more crowded, thanks to a deep-sky census assembled from surveys taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories. "My god, it's full of stars."

I feel nervous in crowds.

Holy moly. Usually estimates were that there are between 100-400 billion stars in our galaxy and roughly the same amount of galaxies. And now there might be even more? What's next? Dark energy are just galaxies facing away?
Its getting cramped.

I frequently hear such apparently-innocuous-but-actually-complex questions about code quality. “This idiot on my team is writing mountains of the most unmaintainable garbage imaginable — what should I do?” Sauce 'em
Or get sauced, I can never remember the etiquette for that scenario.
