We never really implemented REST APIs. We had a bunch of REST-ish APIs.

Anyway - the REST movement served it's purpose - it killed SOAP and forced everyone back to simpler HTTP APIs without tons of over-engineered XML layers so it did well.

HTML is an implementation of a REST API, I'm not sure what you mean that we never implemented REST.

SOAP was a pain, XML wasn't doomed though and we didn't need to throw that baby out with the bath water.
