The flip side (IMHO, at least), is that simple build-chains are underrated. As much as I love a well-designed IDL (I'm a Cap'n Proto user, myself), the first thing I reach for is ReST. It most cases, it's sufficient, and in all cases it keeps builds simple and dependencies few. |

Wow, yes! Yes!
IDLs represent substantial complexity, and complexity always needs to be justified. Plain, "optimistically-schema'd" ;) REST, or even just JSON-over-HTTP, should be your default choice.
