I’ve seen a number of projects over the years that were trying to hook  
up a CORBA orb to Ruby …

I’d really like to see that happen …

I mean, take Orbit2 for instance, they provide C, C++, & Python bindings  
…  
And, there are others, that have done the exact same …

I very much need access to a corba object network from my Ruby code (  
I’m supporting some legacy apps that aren’t going to get rewritten ) …

I know I can, if I take a lot of time, write the Ruby-\>Orbit2 ( or which  
every orb people want to bind… ) binding myself … But, it’s not my  
forte. There are a LOT of people out there that have done work on  
implementing bindings, and I see this as something that is definately a

- for people that are trying to use Ruby as that enterprise glue.

I know a lot of people are all about SOA and REST/SOAP etc … but,  
there are apps out there that just AREN’T coded that way …

Anyways, if I can get some guidance, I’d very much appreciate it … I  
kinda need it and feel y’all are the best people to ask.

Let me know what you think / how you feel.

Ciao for now.
