Roadmap

The Ultimate goal will be to get the as much or all of the COM components into Phobos.

• Eliminate duplication with existing Phobos functionality
• Examine std.windows.com
  • This uses alias to Type names to those used in Windows headers
  • Probably the main module to desire replacing (many similarities to juno.com.core)
• Make changes to use more Phobos idioms

Some other goals include

• Getting tlbimpd added as a tool
• Possible major design goal
  • Modern COM Programming in D
  • This turns COM interfaces into struct instead of using the language interface concept.
    • Can make RAII easier
    • A guest language is only using the type as a proxy to call functions, the interface relationships are less useful and are not passed through to other COM interactions.
  • Would break all existing Juno code (is my expectation)
• Add unittests
  • I don't know what I'm doing so I'll be doing my best to add unittests that check my knowledge.
  • It also has a side effect of helping to prevent future unintended breaks.
