This reminds me not of every proponent of new technology who can't get their head around knowing the right tool for the job, I think this article is actually positioned better than those.. I do like some of the points.
But instead reminds me of a friend who went full gRPC learning, so far as to start contributing to the newer standard definitions of RPC, he used to turn around and say that all API's SHOULD be replaced with gRPC and argue as I would about how its not always needed etc, he knew enough to counter with good reasons instead or the reasons why it should be.. And sometimes thats the biggest hurdle, its not that it can do everything better, even easier. It's just the commitment devs/companies whoever will have to do it..
I'm guilty of not using the right tool for the job sometimes.. But I'm struggling to think of any protocol or implementation that has been fully replaced without huge intervention..
Even TSL/SSL implentations was (rightly) pushed heavily by browsers, no ssl, no sensitive data transfer. But on its own, I don't see any replacements today wiping out the old.
I'm no fan of latest fads.. You show me a good standards doc thats got strict implementations, I'm on board! You show me a 'recommendation' based on some amazing points and valid critique, I'm not so enthusiastic..
