What concerns me about Hypermedia APIs is that folks are using the same sorts of grandiose, architecture astronaut-y stuff that we got out of the last two failed revolutions.

You owe it to yourself to read the HAL+JSON specification: http://stateless.co/hal_specification.html

Anyone who considers a three-page spec like that astronautics probably has a low capacity for complex thought.

A hint: when trying to convince, it's not a great idea to passive-aggressively insult the other party. Since they're human too, they will probably just get pissed off and write you off as an asshole. Like what I'm doing right now.

Given the level of respect I have for the OP's exhaustively researched points, I should not have said a thing. Someone on the Internet is wrong. My mistake.

So rude. I'm sure you have a lot of good things to say (given your other posts), but resorting to insults and ad hominems is the sort of thing that comes from those who have a low capacity for intellectual discussion.

Besides, per the URL you provided, it's a 10 page printout, not 3.

Requiring a low capacity for complex thought sounds like a good API...
