Thanks for the review! I didn't mean the article as a marketing post, but I wanted to share my (long) thought process.

Nothing in the article is new in the concept, but maybe™ the time is now right. Frankly, what the part I'm concerned about isn't the semantics sharing at runtime, but it's the de-coupled, declarative approach in writing the clients.

With hypermedia, we've failed at the gates of client development. The devs tend to tight-couple their code with APIs, ignoring the consequences. If there won't be an incentive on client's side, then nothing from the article will matter.

I stopped reading at "Aliens". The Turk explanation was so patronizing IMO it reduced my tolerance for any other apparent nonsense not related to the topic at hand.
Do we really?
