REST is one of the worst tech religions ever created yielding the most blinkered zealots. It's treated like a Bible where every word is taken as the Gospel truth that can't be tested, validated, compared or improved upon. Any alternative technology that reduces latency, improves performance and end user experience is considered an evil intrusion invalidating the purity of REST and must be vanquished.
In the name of REST, practitioners give themselves a free-ticket to develop large, over-architected, dumb chatty high-latency solutions at the expense of the end user as long as tech choices are made within their interpretation of REST. Normally technology serves the client, unless you're a REST zealot in which case what the needs of the client is secondary, its more important to obtain Internet kudos points by forcing your way up the maturity ladder.
No we must develop and shoe-horn all App and User experiences within the constraints of an ambiguous thesis that was built to link and update documents and create server-driven turn-by-turn apps. The fact they can't correctly interpret what different parts of REST means amongst themselves have generated programmer-decades worth of wasted discussions in the most useless bikeshed ever.
