ICE and CORBA
ICE was influenced by CORBA in its design, and indeed was created by several influential CORBA developers, including Michi Henning. However, it is much smaller and less complex than CORBA. According to ZeroC, this is partly a result of being designed by a small group of experienced developers, instead of suffering from design by committee.

Famous quotes containing the word ice:
“...there was the annual Fourth of July picketing at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. ...I thought it was ridiculous to have to go there in a skirt. But I did it anyway because it was something that might possibly have an effect. I remember walking around in my little white blouse and skirt and tourists standing there eating their ice cream cones and watching us like the zoo had opened.”
—Martha Shelley, U.S. author and social activist. As quoted in Making History, part 3, by Eric Marcus (1992)
