People treat the dissertation like it is a standard. It is nothing close to a standard. It is the source of a decade of time wasted bickering over it.

- e12e 9y agoKind of my point. It's a great dissertation, with some great ideas in it. One of them is REST (Web pages). But the other architectures are well documented in there too - with trade-offs. Ed: not sure about "time wasted bickering over it". Bickering is always time wasted. Careful analysis of software architecture, patterns, and figuring out what you're actually trying to achieve - is time well spent. There are fundamental trade-offs between REST and different patterns - depending on where the truth of your data recides, if you need acid or not, and where (what part of) your code executes.
