More and more convinced that SPAs and REST do not mix well together.

@szymonpobiega I disagree. Which is why we came up with ROCA (roca-style.org)

@stilkov Because they make hypermedia-based flows difficult by forcing static routing in client side code.

@szymonpobiega Make no mistake, I hate SPAs. But I believe they can be part of a RESTful app if they use a hypermedia format such as HAL.

@stilkov I like SPA as way to build UI for tools (e.g. a build servers). They require less stuff on server side (e.g. no view engine)

Replying to @SzymonPobiega
@SzymonPobiega Yes, good point. Sometimes they have benefits. Just not enough of them to convince me in general.

Replying to @stilkov
@stilkov True. They are a good replacement for Silverlight though.
