"From an architectural perspective, there is absolutely no difference between a micro service and a library. The only real difference is in the dispatch mechanism."
I always tell people if you can't write and maintain a library then don't do microservices.
- scruffyherder 8y agoYes the kids have just rediscovered the move from COM to DCOM. It's so silly that we are wasting so much time rebuilding existing things, poorly.
- User23 8y agoCOM wasn't a picnic to work with back when it was the new thing. The toolchain sucked. I'll never write another line of MIDL in my life.
- maxxxxx 8y agoAgreed. Although with tools like Visual Basic it was quite nice to use. Now, DCOM was another story. Pretty much everybody I knew who used it started to become suicidal after a while...
- voltagex_ 8y agoI still maintain a (third party) app that requires DCOM.
- pjmlp 8y agoMDIL has been rejuvenated for C++/WinRT, the new C++17 based projection for UWP.
