@jboner With all due respect, “synchronous REST over HTTP as a communication protocol” is a terminology disaster :-)

@stilkov I know it's a simplification. But that's how most people think about it. Just trying to make them rethink their defaults.

@stilkov How do you suggest I should explain it?

Replying to @jboner
@jboner “synchronous HTTP as a communication protocol” would be better, even though what I really think you’re criticizing is “naïve RPC”

Replying to @stilkov
@stilkov I'm criticizing "traditional" sync RPC. The prob is that REST is often used that way—wrongly. There is nothing wrong w/ REST per-se

@stilkov But you are right that the way I stated it can be confusing since I had to omit the longer explanation. I'll remove REST.
