Yep.
Look at the REST/JSON API debacle that has unfolded over the last two decades. It is trivially obvious that REST is both difficult to implement and largely pointless outside of a hypermedia system, but the thought leaders never said a thing about it.
- edgyquant 5y agoHow is REST difficult to implement? And as for pointless, what is a better way to present an API in your opinion?
