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

    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.

    They also merged the concepts of Working Group and Task Force into an Open Management Group Working Task Force, or OMG/WTF.
