maybe I've been drinking too much AWS koolaid but I significantly prefer RPC-style APIs over RESTful APIs these days
@iliana@cybre.space RPC APIs are like function calls in code; easy (at least for me) to conceptualize. REST APIs require you to think about HTTP verbs instead of just calling functions.
@sam ding ding ding
@iliana@cybre.space I was having this discussion in the office the other day. I've never really felt like I "got" REST APIs.
@sam it's trendy!!! [jazz hands]
and the only way to generate clients is to suffer by rolling them by hand for each language or to use swagger
both choices are equally painful
(rethreaded for reader convenience)
@iliana@cybre.space Sometimes I wonder if REST caught on so much because Rails made it easy to get something RESTish running.
