It's awesome, but also funny that we're using WASM to reinvent COM 30 years later.

And that's not a knock on WASM. It's just that COM was pretty neat for it's time, even if it was sometimes painful in practice.

But I find it pretty nifty that I can still take a COM library written in one language and then import and use it in C++, C#, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, or Racket (and plenty of others - those are just the ones I've used COM libraries with.)
