and now this arrives...
basically been struggling to run nuclide in an virtualbox ubuntu image on windows.
This basically brings the react native to windows!!!!!!
I always found it pretty pissy that nuclide didn't support windowds out of the gate and it was too much like Atom (insanely customizable but without the ability to ctrl+click on functions and variable declaration and high configurability with dependencies on 3rd party packages breaks Atom).
like the comment by jolux, I vastly prefer VS over Atom. In fact I might ditch Atom asides using it as a powerful Notepad.
man what is going on today? it's like a blitzkrieg by Microsoft.
Yesterday Microsoft was still uninteresting to me because I associated with being close source, not playing nice with other open source technologies....
I can confidently say that my view of Microsoft has changed dramatically after release of VS, React-Native, Xamarin, and now an AWS Lambda alternative that looks much better than AWS....here's hoping I can get some free credits from Azure to test out Azure....which equally I used to ignore but now...I'm taking a keen interest in Azure and what it has to offer over AWS...
It's really interesting to see Microsoft has made a huge effort in winning developer's hearts by opening up everything and it's working!
