Alan Kay kind of said something along those lines, in that
he envisioned the world wide web to be more integrative. If we include this with Matrix URIs, we could have a scheme
format that could work with remote data/objects in a convenient
and logical way. RESTful APIs do not seem to be quite the same
though. Like some universal API ... not sure how it would look. If my query would be "weather?" then any API should understand
this to mean I'd like to return the local weather. But as an
API. Naturally we have AI now so any such queries become trivial
at all times, but this is still not quite what was meant. We
kind of limited things here because "all external input may be
malicious". This then meant no further development in this area,
because "too dangerous". Every time I try to use JavaScript to
read a local file, I am reminded of that as limitation. They
did not think that there are valid, non-malicious use cases,
so I am using ruby and python rather than JavaScript (I could
use node, but it kind of feels ... so dirty when using it). |
