You mean like Electron applications? :P
But seriously, I don't know what kind of clients you want to use, but if I want to store data on an object store, for example, I know what the verbs are. And if a new one is added, then at some point I need to change something on the client side to factor that in. Unless the server is also serving the UI as they do with web pages.
<semi-rhetorical-strawman>If I'm using something like $AccountingProgram and my bank puts in a new possible action like "donate" to let me easily donate to charities which will return important information like deductions and the relevant fields, etc., then how might my accounting become aware of this new concept? </semi-rhetorical-strawman>.
Maybe I'm too troglodyte to see it. My engineering senses are tingling with excitement that it would be cool that it automatically gets through to the client (without also being open to click/UI hijacking from shitheads) but I just don't see how it can happen.
