CORBA was a total piece of shit back in the day. Nobody in their right mind would chose it for anything today except as example of "don't do this when you're designing and implementing something." It's an over engineered overly complicated design that leaves a lot of crucial stuff undefined, which made interoperability impossible. From a performance perspective it was crap. And debugging an implementation was almost impossible. It's a great example of how architects can destroy a good idea by layering ridiculous amounts of abstraction into an incomprehensible pile of software. And it shows that architecture without implementation experience should never happen.
