CppCon 2014: Zaika Antoun "Microsoft w/ C++ to Deliver Office Across Different Platforms, Part I"

There's a pretty interesting video of how the Office team uses C++ for their cross-platform efforts from CppCon 2014: [VIDEO]

Word for Windows and Word for Mac are much closer together than you may realize. Pretty interesting talk about cross platform Office. Part 1: [VIDEO] Part 2: [LINK]

I wonder, not long ago there was a c++ conference were two Microsoft employees were talking about the Office mobile apps and how they developed it [1]. They said that they developed the main part in c++ and the ui part in the respective ui platform (cocoa/android ui framework). Would be interesting why they moved from this approach to React native.

Since 2014 not anymore. The Office team did a couple of session at CppCon about how they refactored the code. "CppCon 2014: Zaika Antoun "Microsoft w/ C++ to Deliver Office Across Different Platforms" [VIDEO] [LINK]

Are we talking about having a good user experience here, or having the easy lazy path for the developer?

Yes, C++ with native views. How do you think Microsoft does Office on Android and iOS? As for verification, they have plenty of talks at CppCon and BUILD about how they do it.
