Yeah, I've done some stuff with Tcl. But I didn't see anything in the 
documentation about COM. (I gather you can add extension to Tcl to do 
just about anything - but I'm not sure exactly how you link the 
necessary C code into the interpretter...)

I have written some trivial VB code before now, but it's so absurdly 
difficult to find out how to do stuff with VB. Anyway, I'm sure VB has 
ways to do stuff with COM.

And I've written a tiny amount of C++ code. (More than VB, but still not 
much.) C++ surely has a way to do this. Whether you'll survive to live 
to tell the tale is another matter.

Also, I can probably do IA32 assembly.

(But The Real WTF is that there's a Haskell package for doing COM stuff, 
and - get this - it doesn't compile on Windows...)
