Will the new VS Linux development stuff work for the newly announced "Linux ABI for Windows" too?

We're aware of that work of course but haven't tried anything with it yet. We were really focused on the remote compile. Since we only support remote right now to try it you’d have to setup an ssh connection to yourself. Hmmm...

Anyway, I'm very interested in how can we leverage Linux tools locally on Windows as part of this.

Yeah, I want to develop for WSL from Visual C++ on Linux running under WSL.

...What a time to be alive. Did hell freeze over or something?
