Re: Proposal for 2.0: SODA 2.0

["Adam Thompson" <..hidden..>]

Agreeing with Chris, *WEB*-based services aren't appropriate for everything - POS being an excellent example.
So, I disagree with making REST the common integration point.  I also don't want to use web-based APIs on, for example, handheld terminals collecting inventory information.

That's what REST (or webservices) are for. ISTM that you want to replace a 
perl api with an api written in a much more rigid language. I'm sure it will 
hurt developer performance (and perhaps developer enthusiasm)..
