One benefit of being an old engineer is watching how excited people get when they rediscover something that has gone around the bend over and over again. I swear if you fuckers reinvent DCOM I will shit in your hats.
- mdaniel 2y agoPreach it, because document/literal SOAP and WSDL are The Way, The Truth, and The Light!
- invalidname 2y agoExactly. It's like the JVM circa 2004. Without all the observability and features we have today and half the performance/reliability/security.
- pjmlp 2y agoWe had them, Java EE application servers had all of that available, as did CLR/IIS, or IBM AS/400 for that matter, really we have seen it before.
- RantyDave 2y agoOMG I hated DCOM so thoroughly.
- cheesekunator 2y agoI actually didn't mind COM and DCOM. I didn't overuse it, so it never bit me. I guess it's why I love using Microsoft Orleans. The virtual actor model is enough for me to solve almost every problem. If Cloudflare Durable Objects (https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects) can reduce latency they might have the winning product.
- crabmusket 2y agoOn that note, do you mind helping me understand something I haven't been able to glean from Microsoft's docs? Does Orleans give you a way to globally address a thread? With Durable Objects, two clients on either side of the world can both request a websocket connection to an object with the same unique identifier, and all the bytes from those clients will land in one single process somewhere inside a CloudFlare data centre. I am pretty sure the answer is yes, but the docs seem a bit less direct than CloudFlare's web focused use cases.
- pjmlp 2y agoActually it is more like CORBA, powered by RMI.
