IMHO C# may be a good choice for this project: shared common code in a C# lib and WPF/UWP, Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac frontends using native UI frameworks and one language to rule them all

For what is worth, in an AmA Nat Friedman stated that development of Atom will continue "as long as there's people using it", and they will probably share some code between vscode and atom (they already do)

In Italy the national post service (which also doubles as a bank) offers dirt cheap Visa Electron debit cards called Postepay (no recurring fee, 5€ una tantum for the card, 1€ fee everytime you deposit money into the card), and the minimum

How, exactly? I'm genuinely curious, I haven't seen any sign of "extension" like IE6 extensions to web standards

They have a bunch of Electron-based products (VS Code, Teams), it's unlikely they'd kill Electron

7.x (public) SDK had no support for C/C++ whatsoever, you needed special access and a private SDK to use it. Windows Phone 8.0 allowed C++ 11

Minor correction: 10 S (or "10 in S Mode") can only install apps from the Microsoft Store. This means you can install traditional desktop apps packaged as Centennial apps (or HWA/PWA apps).

There's a registry key you can change to enable it in other locales, I can't remember it nor find it again though.

As far as I've seen, no one noticed that this is about the old legacy version of Skype, the "rewritten client" they talk about in the article is the current Electron-based client. That one and the UWP version are not affe

It's worth to notice that such PWAs will still be able to call UWP APIs. Also this is the natural continuation of Project Westminster, that originated in Windows 10: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows&#x

Enterprises have been able to distribute apps outside the Store since Windows 8.0 back in 2012. With Windows 10 you can just distribute the .appx and install it with a double click (given you've installed its certificate or if its CA i

Not unsigned code, but Xbox One runs apps from the Store. There should be a fair amount of checks before an app lands on the store, but you can never be sure.

I may be biased since I've been working with Xamarin since 2013, but I fail to see how Flutter could be a better choice than Xamarin: - the language is a niche compared to C# (which translates in "it's harder to hire devs&quo

Compatibility. Office doesn't even use that binary anymore, but still ships it to avoid breaking other apps that depend on it. They wouldn't risk a rewrite.

To be fair, you don't need $1000 to start developing UWP apps for Continuum. You just need a Windows license (~50$) since you can install it on Macs, and you can use Visual Studio Community, which is free (as in beer). Of course, plus
