alt Hacker NewsNice idea, although it is still slower than COM.
COM can run over the network (DCOM), inside the same computer on its own process (out-proc), inside the client (in-proc), designed for in-proc but running as out-proc (COM host).
So for max performance, with the caveat of possibly damaging the host, in-proc will do it, and be faster than any kind of sockets.

Ah the good ol' Blaster worm...
Well if you need ipc to connect different languages, you will stay away from COM. Heck once you use anything but rust,c or c++ you should drop com. Even dotnet support for com is aweful. And if you ever written a outlook addin, than you will start hating com by yourself, thanks to god that Microsoft is going away from that
