On: Modern C++ as a Better Compiler

[pjmlp]

.NET Native is a .NET AOT compiler to be released as part of the next .NET version.

It uses the same backed as Visual C++, known as C2, generates static binaries and also makes use of SIMD and auto-vectorization.

C++/CX is not managed. Developers outside Windows keep mixing it up with C++/CLI just because they share the same extensions.

It is just syntax sugar for COM.
