Web Services and CORBA

A sobering article about how web services are evolving to reach the same complexity as CORBA. As someone who has used CORBA for many years (and still does in fact), I can tell you it solves the multi-language RPC problem very very well, but it's a large and complex beast. Web Services should be very wary of going down this route. Note that CORBA spent many years evolving under the guidance of the OMG - are Web Services as well controlled?
