WRL vs modern relationship
I watched the video and read some articles on the site, but I'm confused how moderncpp can be related/compared to WRL when it comes to implementing my own classes. Is moderncpp supposed to be a replacement or extention to WRL? Can / should someone use them together? Could you please explain?
I haven't released the Modern compiler (needed for component development) but you can get a glimpse of how it works here. Modern is meant to replace WRL. They are two completely separate approaches to component development.
@kennykerr is there any ETA on modern compiler release? is it going to be open source as well?
+1 on those questions

Question: Will Modern add final specifiers where appropriate? Or is that an IDL thing? (I'm not yet familiar with IDL).
Similarly: Will Modern add const specifiers to methods, or is that also an IDL thing?
Regarding the future of Modern, please read this.
Regarding "final", I assume you mean sealed classes. WinRT supports classes that can be inherited if the class supports inheritance (composability). Modern already has some support for this. I don't know what you mean by const. C++ has a strong definition of "const", which Modern has always embraced.
@kennykerr Thanks for the update. I'm still wondering about the ETA. Is it more like near future e.g. VS 2015 Update 2 or long time future e.g. VS NEXT?
Ist there any update on when this will get integrated into the regular VS Release? Is it under active development at all? I think, this is a great project and would finally make WinRT accessible to me, but unfortunately the library versions here on github don't quite work for me so far (VS2015.2 Win10 1511) and the missing modern compiler and documentation is limiting their usefullness anyway.
Hi folks, please join us at CppCon in September where I'll be talking about C++/WinRT and the future of https://moderncpp.com/. There will be two sessions on C++/WinRT.
- https://cppcon2016.sched.org/event/7nDL/embracing-standard-c-for-the-windows-runtime
- https://cppcon2016.sched.org/event/7nLr/putting-coroutines-to-work-with-the-windows-runtime
That's great news. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend, but I hope recordings will be available.
Hi Kenny,
Will there be live streaming?
Thanks Nagesh

@leeter Yes, we should soon have a public preview available via GitHub, NuGet, and vcpkg.
@hrnagesh You can now watch the recordings here.
