> The C++/CX compiler....use a weird little hat > What does the hat do? Well nothing. Actually the hat is drastically different than a normal pointer. It's managed/garbage collected pointer[1]. Which is actually pretty smart to introduce garbage collection functionality without breaking legacy code. I watched the first code and he doesn't show him actually compiling the sample he typed up. Instead it kind of cuts to a fullscreen version of some app. My vote is that this library doesn't actually exist.
