Nothing ever goes away. Almost nothing at least. That's not what failure means. I too think the tale of CORBA is greatly... what's a better word for bastardized? We have simple pat reductionist stories that it was bad & failed. And the truth is much more complex. On this is agree. But it also seems like a world that got vendorized, that got stratified & too-far-away-from-the-practioners. It stopped delivering value. It grew in ways that lead to ossification & unsustainable ends. It misdeveloped & fell.
