=E2=80=A6 I know they have this =E2=80=A2=E2=80=A2WinRT/UWP=E2=80=A2=E2=80=

(There, fixed that for you.)

Ada-WinRT doesn't support XAML yet.

XAML is an optional add-on to WinRT/UWP, intended mainly for interfacing wi=
th nontechnical UI/UX designers who lay out the UI as mock-ups without code=
 behind the XAML yet.  Then the UI's XAML is delivered to C# (or F# or C++/=
CX or VisualBasic) programmers to write code behind that declarative-XML mo=
ck-up.

WinRT/UWP is the COM- & ATL-based OO replacement for Win32.  Win32 & Win64 =
are deprecated, not able to access all the new feature-sets of the Windows =
operating systems since, say, Windows XP.  Win64 is Win32 verbatim with poi=
nters and integers widened to 64-bit.
