"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means".

- mablopoule 3y agoYou might point out what "true REST" means based on the Fielding's paper, but at this point a "REST API" has a (somewhat) clear meaning derived from 2 decades of widespread usage to mean exactly what the author used it for. I love etymology in general, but don't fall into the trap of thinking that the origin of a word or an expression is the only correct meaning.
