They still have problems with listening. It got much better but they often do not hear or understand when it does not fit into the world picture of their product managers. This is human (and in that level not bad or malicious) but they are a bit too proud for it.
- pjmlp 5y agoI can vouch for it, given my failed attempts that IDL gets first class development experience given COM, UWP and C++/WinRT. It is up for the community to provide syntax highlighting for a 30 year old language.
- ripley12 5y agoThat’s on the Windows team, not the .NET team.
- pjmlp 5y agoExcept .NET and Windows belong to same package and some APIs are only available in .NET as COM wrappers.
- oaiey 5y agoThe languages are all owned by Scott Hunter. Including e.g their Java support etc. The windows sdk not. Where exactly the language projections are, no idea. IDL and COM however sounds indeed more like Windows team and not language and runtimes team.
- pjmlp 5y agoYeah, classical Microsoft where externals have easier time talking across divisions than internal employees, only interested on their own silos. I know of cases where externals where tasked with fetching information due to that culture.
