This is great. I used Juno back in 2007 for working with Excel,

worked great. Nice to see the library getting an update for D2.
I remember seeing some slides on another COM library for D2 a
while ago.
Was that effort ever open-sourced?
IIRC it was a Microsoft employee using D with WinRT[1]. He did
not open-source his work. I think Juno was pretty much on par
with ease of use, but I never got to the point of doing a direct
comparison (now that I have Windows 8 I think it would be
possible)

Anyway, Juno does work in 32 bit, I think 64 bit is close. If I
actually had a problem to solve with COM I'd probably be working
out the kinks.
But I want to give credit to Richard Webb for providing solutions
for several COM integration problems. I've just been deprecating
things and keeping it compiling for the latest compiler.
