But does any junior want to learn C++ Win32? You want to learn something that leads to a long-term career development path, not a sunsetting technology.

They would want to learn Winforms/WPF/WinUI/whatever if microsoft could settle on one and use it. I suppose part of the react native stuff is that Microsoft hasn’t done a good job of making people, even in Microsoft, bet the farm on any of their “native” toolkits.

I'm pretty sure Microsoft can pay them enough to be happy to learn it.

This seems like such an odd take when web frameworks seem to be obsolete almost as soon as you start using them. C++ has and will continue to be around for a very long time.
This is just the result of bad leadership at Microsoft.
For money, anything is possible. That’s the employment contract, trade money for time doing things you would rather not.
Indeed but if the pay needs to be high, you may as well pay someone experienced.
The delulu who think C/C++ is "sunsetting". Hilarious.

That's why they got the job, didn't they ? /s
