I personally only worked with DOM XML. Used it from PHP, Javascript. I see no
problems in those 2 languages.

One drawback of COM is that you must have a message loop running (on both?
sides) for
the calls to work. I used it from .net ant it had some problems because of this
issue, but nothing non-solvable.

igalvelis: you mean you can't just make blocking calls?

Exactly

To clarify you cant block calls from message loop thread, and you must have
message
loop thread.

I didn't like the "from scratch" idea anyway. I hope the .net guys know what
they're
doing

I don't understand how COM works and why it can't be so simple like DLL
imports/exports. I had a bad experience looking for a way to create a COM
project,
the Express versions of Visual Studio don't have that, and I could never find
any
project samples.

It can't be so simple because it has to ensure things like
language-portability,
backwards compatibility and world-wide GUID unique-ty. The concepts are neat
but in
C++ you have to write quite some redundant code, and tools do not undo stuff
properly (backwards compability, once you compiled you're screwed)... it
becomes
frustrating fast.

nah, I think by now it's obvious noone has enough intention and knoledge to do
this, at least not as part of this project.
PS.: From other forums it's clear that a .NET port (instead of COM) would solve
more problems, but being part of this particular google-code project means it
would have to be up-to-date with the C++ part which would be a drag on the
already existing developments.
