    Description

      MSVC supports all the functionality we need for a Windows toolchain. It supports newer "WinRT APIs" (in contrast to "traditional" Win32 APIs) and c++/winrt as a language projection for these APIs.

      Do other toolchains (MinGW/gcc, MinGW/llvm) support

      •  WinRT APIs?
        • if so: all of them?
      • c++/winrt?

      If there are toolchains, which do have support for WinRT APIs, but do lack support for c+/winrt we might lose functionality in backends if port from "raw COM usage" to c+/winrt
