DCOP is very easy to make interoperate with other languages. Athough some of 
the KDE interfaces use method overloading on the arg types, which is a bit 
more tricky. We have several interfaces to DCOP in non-C++ languages - for 
Python, Ruby, Perl, Java, JavaScript and shell scripts. 

I hope it will be just as easy to interface with DBUS. I think it will be up 
to the developers of C++ apps to ensure they don't go overboard with nested 
custom structs or whatever with DBUS, and stick to things like simple string 
lists or hashes which can be easily represented in any of the above 
languages.
