Also,
C++ is RFCs for adopting JavaScript's module system because it's so damn good for static analysis.

Well Actually!
All of Office 365 is (almost finished) being completely rewritten in this little scripting language called #JavaScript.
And Skype
And Microsoft Teams
And @Code
And all of @MSEdgeDev Debug Protocol (instead of C++)

To clarify since this someone exploded a bit
1. We've been talking about our use of react-native and react-native-windows for a bit now! Here's the git repo! Feel free to learn more! https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows …
2. The "never have been able to say before" pt was 'Well Actually'Show this thread -
Here's some more react-native-windows resources!!!! Hopefully we can standardize on the JavaScript compilation pipeline to match what is cannonical in the community (

And here's ReactXP which is baked in to Skype (consumer) to make it possible to ship cross plat and single code base native applications with consistent UIhttps://microsoft.github.io/reactxp/blog/2017/04/06/introducing-reactxp.html …

Which part of office 365? The web versions or the desktop? You mean they are all gonna be electron apps?
-
No they are not electron apps. They are compiled to native code. It's now finally one toolchain(
#webpack) It's one codebase and it compiles to: Web Android IOS MacOS UWP WIN32 (only one that uses electron) -
How is being compiled to native code? Which tool? Webpack is doing great work in MS I see!
-
We have multiple forks of react-native for each platform. Of course combined with ReactXP and friends. :)
-
Have some comms to get going with FB team to see if they want to accept changes upstream. History has shown sometimes non-interest to maintain things they don't care about/need/use.
-
May be it's time for Ms for releasing it as a plugin to compile to native! I'm expecting RN must be having a plugin system of some sort. If not ask them to look at tapable ;)
-
It's not as simple as a plug-in I've been told. I'm not the lead on that team so I can't comment more, but I know that if it was that easy, we'd already do it. OSS is lifeblood to us.
-
Hmm. Kudos to the person who came up with this idea though! Someone should do a talk about this. Also how about the resource usage compared to the existing native apps? You know anything about that?
