Nonsense. Every programming language and every scripting language supports 
COM that I've seen. Didn't you tell me Haskell has a COM interface? I know 
Tcl does. WSH does. C# has a particularly nice one. Python does.

OK, I'll grant that maybe postscript doesn't do COM. Whoops, nope, I take 
that back. Ghostscript supports COM.

What language have you used on Windows that does *not* do COM? That would be 
like having a language on Linux that doesn't support environment variables.

They both come with Windows.

Obviously "last I checked" didn't include googling before you posted.
