Onthe other hand, language binding to a large variety of languages for CORBA exist
now, it is well known and understood technology while d-bus is for the most part
really a ugly IPC hack. Even if CORBA is not the appropriate ipc mrthof for some

sence. Plenty already do exist, and there is complete lack of evidence the world
needs a new one.
