Microsoft has gone cray cray, and I like it.
Visual Studio Code – Cross-platform IDE for Windows, OS X, and Linux.
It has Lua syntax highlighting out of the box. It’s fast enough to replace Sublime Text for me, but not powerful enough (for Corona development) to replace ZeroBrane Studio or Lua Glider just yet. Perhaps with a future plugin, though.

Windows Phone 10, when plugged into a TV or monitor via HDMI, becomes a full computer.
It can only run Windows 10 universal apps, but still…

Windows Phones will include an Android subsystem that can run the majority of existing code from an Android app.

A tool that Microsoft plans to release will allow developers to directly convert their Objective C code built for iOS devices to work on Windows 10 devices with “very few” modifications.

There were other things too , like the new Microsoft Browser (formerly Project Spartan, now Edge) and more azure and holographic news.
I’m curious how that converter is going to work, and *if* it would work somehow for Corona apps. I realize a Corona app is essentially a wrapper around an OpenGL canvas, but I’m curious if Corona could possibly have another option eventually to build for Windows 10 that runs the converter over the generated Objective-C code…
I’m curious because the Floorvana app I work on uses some graphics features that are not available in Corona Cards, specifically the color sampling functionality.
Thanks,
