Thanks SAP for letting me feel like it's 2010, when everyone fell in love with REST (again).

Agree, although I feel like I never fell out of love. Honest question, why has excitement waned? Or has it?

I don't see how... what's replaced REST? Maybe other technologies have added to it (like graphql and gRPC?)

Excitement has waned a bit.

Seen as verbose.

Also it's been used in places it shouldn't have been, so 'REST sucks'

Over the past few years, APIs I've had to use have been around a 50/50 split between REST & RPC-ish things.

And in the last month... 1 SOAP interface (!)
