> You shouldn't be writing WPF apps at all.

Says who? Are we supposed to stop writing Windows desktop apps in C# just because the frameworks are in maintenance mode?

All of the web's legacy languages are lame and not going anywhere - HTML, CSS, JS. At least WPF gives you some choice - C#, F#, VB. All without crap-trans-piling. The REST is not bad though.

As mentioned, not a big fan of transpiling.
