COM was awesome tech! I wish we had an equivalent today.

I did a ton of python-com projects for a big aerospace company in the late 90's and it was amazingly easy to get a lot of well-integrated functionality for little time and effort. Really sad that it's not more common now.

COM is the main Windows API since Longhorn ideas were redone as COM.

It isn't going anywhere, even if the tooling keeps as clunky as ever.

Sorry, I wasn't clear in that post -- I'm on Linux, and I wish Linux had an equivalent tech.
