HTTP/REST is not big, nor healthy. It's hell no!

TL;DR

HTTP/REST is not as simple as some people tend to advertise it.

Put together, HTTP specifications and extensions go on tens, if not hundreds, of A4 papers. And HTTP/REST is not only complex, but it also requires you to change paradigms, to stop thinking about code, and to rethink the problem to fit a sound paradigm.

Software is the litmus test of each specification. No software? then stop writing poetry, expecting everybody else to have the one and the same interpretation and complaining that nobody understands you. Make the spec a black box that true professionals know how to use, export simple APIs. Make it usable. Delegate and be delegated. Do one thing well.
