Going on this [0] comment, desktop Office is remaining in C & C++, and on this [1] Code is Typescript and has no plans to move from Electron.
So I'm really not sure what to make of this random viral tweet.

- youdontknowtho 8y agoThat makes much more sense. Thanks.
- akavel 8y agoEven more details here, apparently (and by the same author as the original tweet): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17304128 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17304128 original reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/8qqhlz/office_365_ms_teams_skype_code_and_the_edge_debug/e0ll1dt/ https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/8qqhlz/office_... Though it still doesn't make things much clearer to me, unfortunately, other than the general idea of: "Yeah, but no"...
- seba_dos1 8y agoJust read the whole twitter thread. The author of the original tweet makes so many semantic mistakes and ambiguities, it really could mean anything. Also, other Microsoft employees are constantly debunking most of common interpretations. There's little point in making news stories out of it, it's just a low quality gossip initiated by an overly excited employee.
