A question - Which portion of Microsoft, the multi-headed beast develops pure-native apps now ? Even the Windows 11 Settings app is Javascript.
The multi-headed beast has been assimilated by web-tech. They can't code GUI C++ no more - except their compiler/graphics team. And even the latter are dying.
There are like three settings pages that use JavaScript and React Native, the vast majority of Settings is C++ and XAML/WinUI2
but that was already developed, all new development it's going with web based at microsoft
Id be interested in a source for both this and the parent's comment. How do we know which settings pages use which tech? Have people been decompiling them?
