This lark software isn't REST architectural style by the definition that matters (Fielding's). http://roy.gbiv.com/untangled/2008/rest-apis-must-be-hypertext-driven http://roy.gbiv.com/untangled/2008/rest-apis-must-be-hyperte... No REST without link relations; and fixed resource identifiers go contrary. Nearly all HN submissions that claim to be REST are not, personally I haven't seen a single one in 2013. That's a shame.

Either that, or the developer community has appropriated the term to mean something more generic.

  yes, REST is same as web scale a.k.a mongodb. Developer community has also appropriated functional programming to mean angular.js. or was that underscore or something.

Could you provide a good example of a fully RESTful API? I've seen lots of comments on HN and other places saying "this is not REST", but I don't really recall one where people said "yep, this is REST." I'd be curious to see what it should really look like.
