Notes
    gollark: I like the statelessness thing, but not the resource-oriented thing.
    gollark: Also also, people cannot actually agree on what it is and what it means you should do half the time.
    gollark: Also, people often want to do things like "restart" in their API, which it can't nicely express, and end up contorting it horribly.

    gollark: REST seems kind of bad to me. It feels kind of layer-violationy using HTTP things to signal application-level statuses, and a lot of the time both ends would have less code just using a RPC-style interface, which has unfortunately fallen out of fashion.
