I am sceptical to any kind of rpc but I’d love to see at least one reply from someone who actually uses it.

Good luck getting developers in one organization behind one protocol IMHO that never happens. You end up with different security implementations. I can’t wait until they release another security framework.

Yeah it's like the 'new' Micro Apps. We had that in desktop development for ages. Seems like we are using fat clients again. Only written in JS.

Well its just this #js generation does not know we have been there. Done that. Again. Showing gap in our computer engineering industry. n00bs do not learn the past. While all other STEM fields spend years learning what was before.
