Corba was a spec that had a number of implementations. Some Orbs were great while others were crap. Unlike DCOM however it was an open standard. For some reason at some point it was declared highly uncool. And now is being reinvented hard yet again by the hipsters of today with grpc etc. Looks like every generation of programmers has the urge to reinvent RPC.

I wish I could remember which implementation of Corba it was, an Irish company I think...hello Google it was Iona and "Orbix". Dreadful thing.
