I've got the same question. But I've written them in both Java and C#. I worked on a project recently where we had a team of Java guys who worked on a SOAP implementation for a month. They could not get it to work in any way, shape or form. It was handed to me, and three of us did it a half an hour. All custom SOAP, still worked. I just don't comprehend why this seems so hard to people on Hacker News. SOAP is just another protocol and as messy as any other.

> SOAP is just another protocol and as messy as any other. I think that's where you and most of the other people on the thread are losing it. SOAP is way messier than just good old REST. (disclaimer: I've never been forced to actually use SOAP.)

  I have had to do both: SOAP is WAY more messy.
