Don't forget Delphi and C++Builder.

Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux Server, cross-platform UI framework with native controls as well as native-themed ones. Runs on the GPU, vectorised, fast. Two languages, including C++ and Object Pascal (similar to C# in feel, but not C-style syntax.) Very large set of libraries for app development, server development, etc.

I used to think C++/CX could finally be what would make Visual C++ actually Visual and comparable to C++ Builder, but the talks at BUILD and the exclusivity of C# even for HoloLens and Fluent Design demos shows that it failed to gain momentum, being mainly used by Microsoft to write low level code.

I quite liked C++ Builder pre .Net days, tons of useful libs included and community projects like Jedi.
