I don't recall either CORBA or SOAP ever seeing enough penetration to look "eternal" as mainstream tech goes (obviously, and especially with SOAP, there's still plenty of enterprise use). Unlike XML and JSON.

They surely were, for anyone doing enterprise during the 2000's.

We had no plans to change to something else.

I recall a lot of talk about CORBA in early 00s, but I don't think I've actually ever seen it used anywhere outside of Gnome.

By late 00s, even the talk was more along the lines of it being legacy tech.

		Several Nokia Networks products were based on CORBA, running on HP-UX, in a mix of C++ and Perl. Eventually migrated to Java EE, also taking advantage of CORBA compatibility.
