Since the VS C compiler has never done C99 very well I have always done my native code C development for desktop using a (terrible) port of gcc to windows. Anyway, I was wondering will WINRT’s “native code” platform allow code from other compilers or will we need to use VS?
And when I say WINRT I mean the APIs not the OS… or at least I think I do… whatever metro apps want to call themselves now…
I just want to know if switching to metro development will be a good idea any time in the near future?
You do not need VS. But you do need a native compiler.
