I'm curious, is there a reason to avoid using .NET for web services deployed on *nix? I'm interested in using it, I love .NET as a platform, I just have this vague sense of worry that I can't quite rationalize. Mostly…
With RoR it's pretty much in the description. Monolithic web apps with relatively standard and simple domain logic (i.e. CRUD). Lots of presentation code (HTML templates, handling of static assets and what not). Go is…
This is not a change in Apple's policies, it's a fluke. The reviewer is interpreting the rule incorrectly. The rule is intended to avoid descriptions which refer to future plans for alternative platform support, or…
Odd. RoR and Go address entirely different app domains. The only thing that connects them is that RoR was trendy yesterday, and Go is trendy today. If this is the rationale for replacement, the author will be writing…
One'd hope that the "values of modern society" have enough capacity to accommodate both ambition and relationships. Painting ambition in negative tone and putting too much focus on relationships causes the same myopia…

I'm afraid we're not in a dramatic agreement. You point to an exception which REST allows to claim the exception is RESTful. The exception is there for practical reasons and it doesn't satisfy REST's constraints nor…
My premise is that HTTPs-only and REST have opposing constraints. You have not demonstrated any flaws in it, REST says communication is stateless and cacheable except for acknowledging some select minority cases when…
Let's quote from section 5.2.2: "All REST interactions are stateless. That is, each request contains all of the information necessary for a connector to understand the request, independent of any requests that may have…
