[Zope] OFF-TOPIC: CORBA and application servers

Here's an analysis of the OMG's plans for CORBA 3: http://www.objectwatch.com/issue19.htm Though obviously subjective and impassioned, I agree with most of what the author says. The OMG has abandoned language-neutrality. I was sad to see Richard Soley, whom Jim and I worked with 3 years ago, try to tie application servers, Java, and the OMG together. At any rate, CORBA's current level of adaptation is quite low, and now that OMG has become a marketing organization for Sun, I think it's time to dispel any notions that CORBA support is critical. Just my $0.02. --Paul
