In my experience people are often disappointed by the shared-nothing architecture of the component model. I guess that shared-nothing architecture makes it impossible to properly share GC objects across component boundaries. But they can still be shared across core module boundaries.

A lot of the time I think you just won’t want to use multiple components. It’s nice to be able to compose them together, I guess, but in general it seems to me that a toolchain will typically just want to generate a single big component so that everything can interact without limits internally.
