“COM but you can actually implement it from the docs” is surprisingly compelling, honestly. There is just an absurd number of obscure corners in the original, from DCE RPC all the way to the highest levels (although those are not the only source of COM grief—IDispatch is an abomination; IStream is needlessly annoying; IMarshal is awful to use but at the same time I don’t think actually has a convincing equivalent elsewhere; etc.).
- marcus_holmes 3y agoAh, the pain of getting a DCOM connection working shudder COM was pretty reliable. Yes, it was needlessly annoying and gave CS folk the screaming ab-dabs, but it worked and was predictable. I can see COM-in-WASM being really useful. Especially if we can dynamically load components. And not only for browser coding.
