(Ive never been able to say this yet)
🙋Well Actually!🙋

All of Office 365 is (almost finished) being completely rewritten in this little scripting language called #JavaScript.

And Skype
And Microsoft Teams
And @Code
And all of @MSEdgeDev Debug Protocol (instead of C++)

nbd
Also,

C++ is RFCs for adopting JavaScript's module system because it's so damn good for static analysis. 😍🔥😍🔥

cc @jfbastien please make me look stupid if I'm wrong
And in case you were wondering. This is the goal and beauty. (At least the pieces I can talk about 😏)

To clarify since this someone exploded a bit 😂😂

1. We've been talking about our use of react-native and react-native-windows for a bit now! Here's the git repo! Feel free to learn more! github.com/Microsoft/reac…

2. The "never have been able to say before" pt was 'Well Actually'
Here's some more react-native-windows resources!!!! Hopefully we can standardize on the JavaScript compilation pipeline to match what is cannonical in the community (#webpack) microsoft.com/developerblog/…
And here's ReactXP which is baked in to Skype (consumer) to make it possible to ship cross plat and single code base native applications with consistent UI

Another great blog to tune into our work with react-native react-native-windows! microsoft.com/developerblog/…
Okay since this thread keeps going, and getting shared, I have some points of clarification that I think you should know about!!!
reddit.com/r/programming/…
Clarification #5 (sorry @code team) 🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇:

Original tweet was trying to portray that we have a lot of killer projects that run on JavaScript (in @code's case [and has no plans to change], TypeScript and Electron]), and that its a great language to start w/.
