The majority of new APIs are UWP only

Microsoft APIs? Or APIs in general (which I doubt). Microsoft will try everything to push UWP into our PCs but I've been using Win10 for a couple years now and the only UWP application I (barely) use is Sticky Notes. The rest of my application ecosystem hasn't changed much.

Swift is a bluff, come fucking on. The only real advantage: it's more pleasant to the eye than Obj-C (which wasn't hard)

And Go is nice, but I rather use Rust a thousand times.

Just gather the result in an auto (auto&, const auto&,...) variable et voilà
