ORBit2 has been replaced by DBUS mostly within GNOME Desktop. DBUS is
the messaging infrastructure, a shared development between GNOME, KDE
and Linux-Kernel projects.

If you don't like DBUS one can use JSON, or XMLRPC. Don't know if they
are better for your use-case, but they are alternatives.

CORBA (especially C-ORBs) are being used nowadays for embedded system
and SoC, see Software Defined Radio (SDR).

Otherwise, if it comes to real-time communication, the relative new
standard "Data Distribution Service for realtime systems" is something
to look at. DDS is based on Publish/Subscribe paradigm.

Hope that helps,
