WinRT
Windows Runtime (WinRT) is a platform-agnostic component and application architecture first introduced in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 in 2012. It is implemented in C++ and officially supports development in C++ (via C++/WinRT, C++/CX or WRL), Rust/WinRT, Python/WinRT, JavaScript-TypeScript, and the managed code languages C# and Visual Basic (.NET) (VB.NET). WinRT is not a runtime in a traditional sense but rather a language-independent application binary interface based on COM to allow object-oriented APIs to be consumed from multiple languages, with services usually provided by a full-blown runtime, such as type activation. That is, WinRT is an "API delivery system". Apps using the Windows Runtime may run inside a sandboxed environment to allow greater security and stability and can natively support both x86 and ARM. WinRT components are designed with interoperability among multiple languages and APIs in mind, including native, managed and scripting languages. B ...

C++/WinRT
C++/WinRT is a C++ library for Microsoft's Windows Runtime platform, designed to provide access to modern Windows API, Windows APIs. C++/WinRT is provided as a standard C++17 header file library, unlike C++/CX, which is an extension to C++ and requires a recent version of Microsoft Visual C++. C++/WinRT was introduced as part of the Microsoft Windows SDK in version 10.0.17134.0 (Windows 10, version 1803) and is a component of Windows App SDK (formerly known as Project Reunion). Microsoft Visual Studio support for C++/WinRT is provided by an officially-supported extension. C++/WinRT was originally released in 2015 by Kenny Kerr, who shortly afterward joined Microsoft. C++/WinRT is now Microsoft's recommended replacement for both the Windows Runtime#WRL, Windows Runtime C++ Template Library (WRL), and for C++/CX. Overview Microsoft's Windows Runtime is based on Component Object Model (COM) APIs, and is designed to be accessed through ''language projections''. A language projectio ...
