About C++/cx
C++/CX was introduced by Microsoft around 2011 as part of the Windows 8 development tools. It was designed to simplify the creation and consumption of Windows Runtime (WinRT) components, making it easier for developers to build Metro-style applications for the new Windows platform.
C++/CX's strengths included simplified syntax for WinRT development, seamless integration with C++, and strong performance. Its weaknesses were the added complexity of learning new syntax and limited portability outside the Windows ecosystem. Competitors included C++/WinRT, which offered a more standards-compliant approach, and C# with its robust support for WinRT development.
