I'm not sure what the cause of your chronic pain is, but I would highly recommend reading John Sarno's "The Mindbody Prescription." I've dealt with chronic pain for years and it's the only thing that's had any effect. Please, please, don't write it off until you've read the book. Note that Sarno's work focuses on back pain, but it applies to all types of chronic pain (including migraines, which he discusses in the book).

The usual politics, from .NET vs C++ at Microsoft.

Here Joe Duffy mentions towards the end that even with Midori running in front of them, the Windows team was sceptical of it.

Since .NET's introduction, Microsoft seems to lack the same kind of culture that Apple and Google have towards into steering their platforms into safer languages (e.g. how constrained NDK happens to be, or first class bindings to all OS APIs in Swift).

It appears that every attempt to do so ends up being sabotaged in some way to assure C++'s reign at Microsoft and Windows subsystems.

Note that Windows is the only desktop/mobile OS where the GUI stack is still fully C++ aware, and they even make a point out of it.

> WinUI is powered by a highly optimized C++ core that delivers blistering performance, long battery life, and responsive interactivity that professional developers demand. Its lower system utilization allows it to run on a wider range of hardware, ensuring your sophisticated workloads run with ease.
