I’m old enough to remember the days of CORBA (Orbix, Iona, BEA, anyone ??) and its IDL, the IDL compiler, stubs and other props and doodads. Ah yes, and the registry as well, where the services registered themselves, and the discovery mechanisms.

Can’t recall how the ORB overhead has been resolved in gRPCs
