Also that win32 is the basis of Windows, and most devs these days don't understand it as it is a pre c++ kinda-sorta-in-the-right-angle Object Oriented language.

Win32 is an API, not a language.

And it's way post-C++.

It most definitely is not, kernel is still mostly C, other components mostly c++. I wish they would be using something like Rust, that would save me from so many vulnerabilities that I need to fix :(
Edit: oops, you were talking about the api. I was talking about Windows. You can use many languages with the api, of course.

I was talking about the fact that Win32 was made a decade after C++.
