I am old enough that I used CORBA. That basically checked all your boxes... multi-language, platform agnostic, discoverable, standardized serialization formats, you name it.

It was also an overly complex piece of shit.

People learn nothing from the past.

I beg to disagree. I just gave a talk[1] about exactly how we[2] went back and took time to learn lessons from designs like CORBA (we're building another microservices framework).

Not least I talk about how it's important to build something that modularises complexity and above all else, focuses first on being _usable by humans_ rather than on technical ascension.

_Some_ of us _are_ listening.
