CORBA tried to make remote calls look local. Making them look remote (and potentially even making some local calls look remote) is a very different design principle that leaks through almost every bit of the standard, and definitely leaks through to every bit of the implementation.

It's funny to complain about CORBA's local/remote muddling in 2017 when we have moved on to microservices that also talk to each other locally with TCP/IP.
