It doesn't matter if the project driven by Microsoft or not, the cat (of automatically generated language bindings) is out of the bag. E.g. Zig is using the same approach without being an official MS project: https://github.com/marlersoft/zigwin32, and Apple has an automatically generated C++ API for Metal (https://developer.apple.com/metal/cpp/).
In the future, the question won't be "what language do I need to learn to code on this platform", but instead "are there language bindings for my favourite language".
Any good winapi libraries for zig yet?

JimTCL it's fun too, specially for embedded devices. No TK, tho, but you have SDL2 support. And network/TLS support too.
