I still maintain the piece of backend which I wrote 8-10 years ago using Python and omniORB. Performance of CORBA was critical back then. But I have started to use CORBA for parts where performance and network overhead was not that critical, which corrupted my code beyond any limits. I was not very experienced back then. I still struggle and feel pain when I see that old code. Also omniORB has some weird memory leaks related bug, which I could not figure out in many years. Sigh... Partially I have migrated most of component from CORBA to beanstalkd (MQ server). This is much more simple approach, testing is easier, code flow is simple. I cannot recommend enough this simple and robust MQ server: beanstalkd. For the part when one component wants to call another component in Python and there is no way I could plug a queue into the flow, I prefer to use Pyro. Dirty and simple.
