So CORBA is 33 years old now.

It used to be a really hot technology. But only 3 vendors left according to https://www.omg.org/corba-directory/vendor/list.htm .

The strange things is that nothing obvious has replaced it. If any: REST, a bit of protobufs, and Kafka maybe. All not necessarily any simpler.

@J12t CORBA-REST V1.0 was just published in September of 2023. There are still some folk working on this tech...

@J12t I haven’t heard it mentioned since I guess the last Bush was president, but maybe Clinton. I think back then I never got around to learning it as it sounded like a Microsoft protocol. Was it?/Is it still?
