The Rise and Fall of Corba (2006)
We still don't have anything that can do what CORBA could do. gRPC doesn't even come close.
If you are interested in this type of technology, I recommend looking at ZeroC's Ice. https://zeroc.com
It's CORBA with all the warts removed, and a lot of other useful stuff added.

Strive for simplicity: sanctions, transactions and a big refactoring
Are you saying: “This solution does not look particularly great”? Well, there's more. The system was not just your average, boring product, it was a modern and fancy distributed system, so it used a framework called Zeroc Ice. This is an RPC framework that also provides deployment configuration, service discovery, SSL encryption and more. By itself it’s rather interesting, but in our case it was used almost everywhere. Majority of the functions in the system were exposed as RPCs, which made them effectively globally visible. And they could call other RPCs and they called even more. And every call produced some side effects that were quite often used in condition expressions of “Algorithms” defined with DSL. These conditions were of course quite heavily nested. As a result, even though we could see in the monitoring interface which steps were already passed, it was almost impossible to tell what would happen next.
