The Web is already well adapted to distributed computing concepts, far
beyond what CORBA et al are adapted to.  It "solves" (i.e. adequately
addresses) many of the problems that predecessor architectures
encountered, which is most of the reason why it was deployed on the
Internet and the others weren't; it was designed to be.

Could you explain your statement above further please?  What makes you
think that the Web isn't already well adapted to "distributed computing
concepts"?
