During last 10 years I went through number of companies that decommissioned
their CORBA middleware in favour of something else. Current generation of
software developers even don't consider CORBA for new projects.
There are alternatives like ICE ZeroC (http://www.zeroc.com/iceVsCorba.html)

CORBA has historical significance and well developed set of concept but
is it really alive?

You are right that new IDL mapping can revitalise CORBA.
