> Swift use value-types by default with copy-on-write semantics.

This isn't true. Copy-on-write semantics are implemented only for arrays, dictionaries, and strings. Swift value-types are copied immediately.

If you ever used Win32, you wouldn't mind abandoning it. It is not good API. If you know WPF, you feel like at home with UWP.

Sadly, this video is on the point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW-SOdj4Kkk

What I meant was you can use WinUI 3 in your Win32 app, so it is a UI toolkit that can be used in any other existing UI toolkit.

He is right. You should check more about C# before you correct others.

You should check all platforms where you can run C#. It runs everywhere.

Blizzard was not bought. It was owned for more than decade by Vivendi, and it merged with Activision.

I wish there was a book that teaches how to create a programming language based on the Roslyn idea.

Outside of US the Uber brand is not so strong. In EU they are very regulated and they compete with local players that understand the market. Asia is also dominated by local players. So Uber exists in these markets, but almost nobody uses it there.

This is more popular in EU. In many countries Amazon even does not operate, and even in Germany people try to prefer different place if they can.

Fuchsia tries to be language agnostic thanks to FIDL. Dart will be one of many options.

You can use docker-machine with VirtualBox. It is not smooth as the native Docker experience, but it is good enough.

But why Electron? There are other cross-platform solutions with great performance.

Does windows right? In our office (Berlin) we are not even allowed to open them.

It is funny people discuss 25°C. We had last week 36°C inside of our office, and a solution from the company? Work from home.

What would it do? Flutter uses same approach to UI.

Only Xamarin.Forms introduces another layer for you (it is the same concept as React Native). If you use Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android you call underlying APIs directly. Although there can be issues with bindings, nothing like you will face with React Native.

I am aware of why C# isn't popular among startups. It is sad because C# is a great language that has amazing tooling support. It runs everywhere - Xamarin for apps, ASP.NET for servers, Blazor for browsers, and it is getting only better, and I cannot imagine how awesome it would be if other companies helped Microsoft. But I can only dream.

It is same with Xamarin. They don't have people that would know these languages, and they would be passionate about them.

Even if that was true the void will be filled with local competitors.

There is another bias where things that are free must be lower quality or there is some catch so I would be careful with that.

It includes a bank account that is huge money and time saving for people outside of US. If you do it elsewhere you will have to fly to the US and open the account yourself.
