Counter-point: I happen to be working at $dayjob on things related to Components (both on the host side and the module side), including using some "WIP" things like the "resource" feature (opaque handles with methods), and haven't hit any edge cases.

Sure, it’s expected that you won’t hit problems if you’re using the paradigms that existed when the IDL was defined. On the other hand, trying to apply Sun RPC after everything became object-oriented…well, that’s when we blew it up and invented CORBA. So I’m just saying the cycle is likely to continue with this approach. In other words, come back in ten years and see how it aged.

The alternative is to use something so simple it can’t become outdated. Dumb down the interface rather than making the interop omniscient. (Kind of like the dumb network principle.)
