- jabl 3y agoTBH, I'm not sure CORBA is as bad as its reputation tells. It's a hard problem space overall, and seems nowadays we're reinventing (parts of) CORBA with things like gRPC etc.
- kramerger 3y agoIt was a hard problem that could have had a much simpler solution than CORBA. There is no need for a Grand Unified Thingy that is so complicated nobody actually understands it. Even back then you probably could use something as simple as xmlrpc and get the job done at 1/100 of cost of an CORBA solution.
