Re: ObjC, CORBA, IDL, GNUstep

Unfortunately the current CORBA programming methodology conflicts with the 
message passing methodology smalltalk, ObjC, TOM uses. What's unfortunate about 
it is it's possible to have backward compatibility in terms of allowing 
CORBA-stile objects to be used in a TOM-stile runtime but not vice versa. 

You would probably be interested in the OREO list archives where a bunch of 
people with no time on their hands dream of a universal runtime which can run 
various objects written in various languages like Tom, ObjC, Smalltalk, C++, 
Java, etc.
