Right, a big push to the XAML stack with the Anniversary Update was a lot of beefy pushes to what's called the "Visual Layer" [1]. A lot of the focus seems to be on making sure that you use high level XAML components and low level DirectX code side-by-side in the same windows.

There is a guy named Kenny Kerr that produced a library called "Modern Windows" or something like that. He has a PluralSight course...I think at least part of it is on youtube...where he demonstrate using it.

His stuff is just worth watching anyway. Awesome Windows dev and ISO C++ content.
