My interpretation is that REST is such a complicated definition that no-one bothers to understand it. It's just too complicated (insert reference to Fielding dissertation). At least, whatever Fielding wrote, terms and languages are too esoteric for people including me to bother with it. REST is now in practice an API using JSON over HTTP with appropriate verbs. And it's 'stateless' in that the server doesn't have to track the clients prior requests to understand the current request. That's about it I think.... Does anyone think that's stupid?
