Yes 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.

  COM 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.

    Agreed. 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...

      I still maintain a (third party) app that requires DCOM.

    MDIL has been rejuvenated for C++/WinRT, the new C++17 based projection for UWP.
