Noone seems to build their APIs upon HATEOAS principles (FB, Twitter, Google, Amazon... all just use "normal" old school REST 2-3 layer. Yeah, yeah... "they don't understand REST"... I personally consider HATEOAS as worthless hype, promoted mainly by idealistic fanboys. They want to talk only about benefits (moslty virtual) of HATEOAS, being in total ignorance of HATEOAS drawbacks (there are many). -- Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with your first post. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ClojureScript" group.
