I've never been able to figure out what direction UWP apps were supposed to go. At one point it was C++, then it was .NET, then it was some dialect of JavaScript. The political tides ebb and flow, but Win32 abides.

The point is that UWP is basically built on COM and can be used by all 3.

C/C++ is good for people who have existing C++ codebases or skills, which they want to bring into the UWP world.

C#/F# for new app development.

JavaScript to bring in electron/web guys on board.
