   First I was excited, then I saw that it's based on DDS.

      why the hate on DDS?

      seems like a perfect fit.

         DDS is the least bad of the stuff that has come out of OMG, but it's not a nice middleware still. There is no underlying algebra of that composes nicely when compared to Zenoh for example, and the "vendor independence" and compatibility is usually a joke. There's a reason ROS is moving away from it again.

            There's a standard that has OMG as the acronym? OMG. I'm not even going to bother to search for that!

               Object Management Group I think. Better known as the inventors of UML.

                  UML was phase two of OMG. It originally developed CORBA.

                        Forgive the ignorant question, what made CORBA terribile?

                        I only used it during university and it seemed overengineered but it mostly worked, and I vaguely recall IDL to be nice.

                        I'm guessing interop was actually atrocious?

                           Synchronisation based on spooky action at a distance of mutable objects.

                           CORBA had the concept of distributed objects which is a terrible idea in practice.
