IDL stands for Interface Definition Language. It allows developers to define the interfaces for distributed services along with a common set of data types for interacting with the distributed services. Syntactically, IDL looks a lot like C++, but unlike C++, IDL is a specification language rather than an implementation language (see FAQ 35.10).
