I miss C++ Builder
- novalis78 10y agome too
- pjmlp 10y agoI thought C++/CX + UWP could fill that gap, but it isn't quite the same, but still way better than VC++ + MFC/ATL ever was.
- zeroc8 10y agoDid you see C++/WinRT? https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/mt745094.aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/mt745094.aspx Now that looks promising.
- pjmlp 10y agoYes, it is still pretty much work in progress, lacking many C++/UWP features to be usable for UWP applications, specially regarding VS XAML editor, Blend integration and UWP controls. Microsoft is promising feature parity with C++/CX when VS17 comes out, lets see. In any case, .NET tends to have the spotlight for app development on the MS stack, with C++ getting the low level high performance work, so C++/CX is nice, but as way to expose those low level APIs as UWP controls, just like C++/CLI does for .NET.

- jlebrech 10y agoI'm missing any IDE with a tight integration with languages and libraries, especially when you can quickly whip up a form on top of some code.
