Except people tend to forget those mind-boggling systems used to be written in C, C++ and Smalltalk before Java was a thing.

Anyone that hates JEE, should spend some time having fun with CORBA or DCOM and see which one s/he likes best.

Oh it's worse. Not sure why but the high-assurance security field relied on high-security ORB's for connecting components in separation kernel systems. I was like, "Can't we use ZeroMQ or something? What are the odds that could be more fu... insecure than CORBA implementations?" Unreal.

CORBA. Oogh. You would bring that up.
