IDL: can generate stubs in different language (one implementation, ILU
from xerox PARC does C, C++, Java, Common Lisp with a somewhat less
supported/debugged Guile stubber).
IDL compilers are freely available, don't have to design/document your 
own and you get a big chunk of CORBA interoperatibility for free.
