Subject: Re: Pretty scathing critique of our REST API
AFAICT, this has nothing to do with the technical merits of the
application, but rather with the correctness of the term. The name is
the easiest thing to fix. ESME might not be using the name "REST"
correctly in the strictest sense, but neither are most of the popular
"terms", such as Ajax.
I don't want to sound dismissive, but I've seen more scathing remarks
about the correctness of REST:

BTW, where can I see the response in the yahoo group?

Subject: Pretty scathing critique of our REST API
Just found this after following a link on the scala reddit (http://www.innoq.com/blog/st/2008/12/esme_twitter_clone_in_scala.html
)
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/rest-discuss/message/11862
"Esme's API is as bad anything I saw in the SOAP/XMLRPC days. I'm
dumbfounded this can get incubated in the ASF."
Yikes.
