The more interesting thing on Windows would actually be COM, which is something like Java interfaces but for native code, that are optionally cross-process.

In my recollection COM became ActiveX which fell down the distributed objects hole along with CORBA because it embodied many of these fallacies.

  • COM still exists. That is like saying Java fell down the Spring framework rabbit hole. It did, but you can still use Java without using Spring.
