Save IDL!

I am a proud signatory of the petition to save IDL. Some may consider such petitions to be foolhardy, even absurd, but I think it is important to put forth some effort to save endangered technologies such as IDL. To see something this important, this transformative and this intuitive simply fade away into obscurity would be a terrible fate.

 

Wait! What the hell am I saying? I hate IDL! Hey, how do I unsign that damn petition anyhow? Damn! Now like numerous VB6 developers, I have signer’s remorse… Woe to me!

Is M$ planning to kill IDL? I thought the damage was limited to VB6. Does this mean, I won't be able to do ATL/COM/C++ in Orcas? That is just dumb, even MS won't rewrite all their current COM based code to .NET.

Can u clarify? Is MS really going to kill IDL or that is just a joke?

OMG, that is too funny. Right down to the fact that signing the petition requires email verification but then the form doesn't ask for an email address. Whoever created that should win a prize.

Thanks for the laugh Rocky.
