Is this for real? The guy that coded windows start menu doesn’t consider performance to be relevant to good software?
Also what is react native? Is it the js library adapted to the windows desktop API?
The twitter thread is a fabrication.
The react native shit? all true. True enough that MS made an announcement talking about how they had removed it even. https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/03/21/microsoft-confirms-windows-11-start-menu-performance-boost-shift-to-winui-from-web-based-components/
As far as I can tell, react native is a way to make easy cross-compatible gui components in javascript. One of the more stupid things ms has done lately.
Yeah, it’s so bad because it’s so easy to do right.
Cross compatibility betong one of the things that’s not very necessary in an OS.
