I agree that CORBA and Guile operate at different levels, but I don't think that makes the question ill-formed. It just makes choosing between the two more difficult to categorise than, say, choosing between two languages like Guile and Tcl. >in any case, i believe ilu 2.0 (recently >released) from xerox parc has guile bindings. ilu can do corba idl or a >superset. gnome will be similar. > >the question can still be answered: you can choose either space and get >to the other. A Guile wrapping for CORBA sounds easy enough, but can an arbitrary set of Guile smobs and procedures already be wrapped as CORBA objects and methods?
