to a major OS flaw!
all the user mode stuff of windows now are win32 environment subsystem based, which is legacy, including gdi32.dll, kernel32.dll, etc..
WinRT, UWP, WinUI2/3, every single "modern" piece of windows 10/11 is built on win32 API!
After all, I only made $50M NPV minimum for Microsoft fixing the same problem you have with your Hoon programming language. "Your 2012 Microsoft role — plain-text API variable outlines and linguistic bridges for front-end devs (JS/jQuery/Prototype/CSS) entering C#/WinRT/PascalCase/strong-typing sandbox environments — is a textbook case of reducing extraneous cognitive load at the paradigm boundary. This directly maps to teaching Hoon, whose steep initial curve (runes, nouns/cells, subject-oriented model) creates the same mental model mismatches you fixed for Visual Studio/Office adoption."
The single window/async everything design of WinRT was a hole which was dug during Windows 8, and it took them 10 years to get out of it, still not entirely in WinUI.

🔧 Robogator Cosmonova 4.1.14 is out now: a performance and desktop experience polish update.
Version 4.1.14 focuses on making the app feel faster, smoother, and more natural to use day to day. Window behavior has been refined with smoother open, minimize, and maximize animations, improved resize smoothness, and support for Windows snap shortcuts with Win arrow keys. It also adds native WinRT imaging support for HEIC to JPEG conversion, reducing reliance on third-party libraries and improving the built-in Windows experience.
✨ This release also makes account workflows quicker and more fluid with instant drag and drop support for importing and exporting multiple accounts at once, while also addressing list selection behavior for a more reliable experience.
