Sort of like the number one objection to the ISO suite of protocols (and,
correspondingly, argument for the use of TCP/IP)? I don't know enough about
CORBA to be able to really evaluate this objection, but it does concern me,
and I think it has a lot to do with the tremendous resistance I have seen
(both from management and technical staff) to the use of CORBA.
Unfortunately, every time I visit the OMG web site I feel like I'm mired in
generalities wihout finding any real answers. Maybe you can point me to the
appropriate areas on the web site. I guess, to be honest, I am a little
concerned by your statement that the slowness of CORBA implementations (Did
I misunderstand?) is due to inexperience on the part of the implementors. If
a good developer can write efficient code in a language, but most developers
write code which is generally inefficient, then I would say that the
language design itself and available compilers are wanting. The fact that
some people are able to overcome these problems does not mean the problems
don't exist in the first place.
