Personally, I believe there is a way to enable new value while fighting back the complexity and corporate engineering culture.

REST needs to mature and get tooling. But we need to avoid the WSDL complexity.

Totally agree on both points...

There's nothing like creating within a clear, clutter-free space. This is what partly drives the enthusiasm when some new hotness hits the dev scene. Other drivers include liberation from gatekeepers and previous decisions.

The possibilities seem endless and it encourages creativity, even if you have to do some nasty bootstrapping to get there.

Good luck avoiding complexity when you hit P2P security, transactions, etc.
