XAML was the main way to do the UI for Windows 8 and Windows Phone apps. Now admittedly nobody actually made any apps for those two platforms, but MS never stopped pushing XAML, it was just Silverlight and WPF they killed off (or ignored in the case of WPF).
- FrankenPC 11y agoIn all fairness, they didn't kill off Silverlight. Apple did. Their refusal to allow alternative managed code browser plugins killed both Silverlight and Adobe plugins. And in retrospect it's probably a good thing. The security holes were extensive. I wonder why MS didn't try to build a .NET/Silverlight framework in asm.js? Just not worth the effort I imagine.
