'C++/WinRT console application using c++17 language projection

I was curious about how I can call .net libraries from a C++ console application using the newer C++/WinRT using C++17 language projections. But I find that it’s hard to find even a hello world example of this.

How would I create an equivalent console application in C++/WinRT as this simple C# hello world program:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace DemoApplication
{
 class Program
 { 
  static void Main(string[] args) 
  {
      Console.Write("Hello World");
      Console.ReadKey();
  }
 }
}

I guess you need to use c++/cx instead of c++/WinRT, since c++/cx let’s you access .net and c++/WinRT only lets you access the UWP version of .net called runtime components:

#using <mscorlib.dll>

using namespace System;

int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
  System::Console::WriteLine("Hello world");
  return 0;
}
