Basically everything inside Google has been built this way through their whole history. Are you calling them a failure?

Just because a company managed to do stuff a certain way that does not mean that way is the right way or adequate or good.

Enough with this cargo cult bullshit approach to technical problems.

Your argument seems to be entirely ad hominem.

SOAP failed because it was a bad design (overcomplicated, verbose, XML-based), not because it used schemas. I've never heard anyone who uses Protobuf say it reminds them of SOAP.

Your previous post is an appeal to authority. You're both mired in fallacies.
