I think it's wrong/confusing to say that they're "launching" React Native for Windows. React Native for Windows is out already, and it works fine. They're just announcing the kickoff of a C++ rewrite.

> In this sub-folder, we are working on a vnext rewrite of React Native for Windows10 built in C++ that reuses the C++ core bridge implementation from Facebook’s React Native. This will allow React Native for Windows10 to innovate and provide features by sharing the same core as Facebook’s React Native.
Cool, but this is basically just an implementation detail.
(I do wish it supported Windows 7 and 8.)
- BinaryIdiot 7y agoYeah, I think you're right. A lot of people have even shipped applications using React Native for Windows and it's been around for years. The article, in the way it's written, makes it sound like they just opened it up today which is wrong. The C++ rewrite is exciting but yeah, it's more of an implementation detail. I wonder if Microsoft words the announcement better (only saw the one from Tech Crunch).
