I’m not arguing against that, just that huge chunks of the web break the HATEOAS abstraction, as it were, and yet, as you pointed out, “the web is pretty successful overall”. It’s not super clear to me that this is because of hypermedia or not in the sense that correlation is not causality.
- CRConrad 5y agoThe Web went all JavaScript instead of HTML sometime between 2000(2005?) and 2010(2015?). But by 2000 it was already wildly successful, so apparently it must have been HTML -- "hypermedia" -- that was the key to success, not JavaScript / JSON.
