As C++ is the native language for the UWP, surely it would map more neatly to the platform?
And the well-known performance and memory advantages, however small, are critical for mobile devices. I don't think Microsoft should commit long-term to C# on mobile just as both Apple and supposedly Google are migrating to Swift as the future of their platforms, for good reason.

And the security story of unmanaged languages is perilously bad. I don't see how people justify it anymore.
