Reading "The Exploit" on the plane. Guy next to me reading a book about algebraic topology. So close, yet so far.

@steveklabnik ahh that explains why you aren't commenting on my blog post ;)

steveklabnik Steve Klabnik

@merbist can you explain a bit more what your issue with webmachine is? different approach from wd but seems a lot better than Rails.

June 13, 2012 #

merbist Matt Aimonetti
@akahn my issue is that it limits you in the way you communicate and forces you in a mold which I don't like.

June 13, 2012 #

akahn Alex Kahn
@merbist do you mean you don't want to have to use REST/HTTP?

June 13, 2012 #

merbist Matt Aimonetti
@akahn exactly, I want it to be highly recommended but not forced upon me.

@merbist @akahn @steveklabnik Nothing about WM forces you to do things certain ways, but it IS opinionated. Sound familiar?

merbist Matt Aimonetti
@seancribbs @akahn @steveklabnik can I have services that aren't HTTP and rest?

@markimbriaco @merbist @seancribbs @akahn @steveklabnik double o_O at you o_O O_o why should WEBmachine do that?

June 14, 2012 #

merbist Matt Aimonetti
@bascule @markimbriaco @seancribbs @akahn @steveklabnik it doesn't have to but for S2S APIs for instance it can be quite useful.

@merbist @markimbriaco @seancribbs @akahn @steveklabnik I am the poster child for using awesome fully asyn protos, but Webmachine does HTTP

June 14, 2012 #

merbist Matt Aimonetti
@bascule @markimbriaco @seancribbs @akahn @steveklabnik your concept is quite interesting I'm def. keeping an eye on lattice

seancribbs Sean Cribbs
@merbist @akahn @steveklabnik Your database is probably one. Unless I misunderstand you...

June 14, 2012 #

merbist Matt Aimonetti
@seancribbs @akahn @steveklabnik I meant can I expose web services via WM that aren't restful &/or not http?

June 14, 2012 #

merbist Matt Aimonetti
@seancribbs @akahn @steveklabnik my knowledge of WM is quite limited and I might have misunderstood what I read

June 14, 2012 #

bascule Tony Arcieri
@merbist @seancribbs @akahn @steveklabnik o_O can WeaselDiesel do that, or should it? It’s WEBmachine, bro

June 14, 2012 #

merbist Matt Aimonetti
@bascule @seancribbs @akahn @steveklabnik WD is just a DSL so it's not really the question. Websockets, RPC... are also "the web".

June 14, 2012 #

bascule Tony Arcieri
@merbist @seancribbs @akahn @steveklabnik Websockets are not WebMachine’s domain, because they’re not HTTP

June 14, 2012 #

merbist Matt Aimonetti
@bascule @seancribbs @akahn @steveklabnik then maybe it should have been called HTTPMachine ;)

June 14, 2012 #

bascule Tony Arcieri
@merbist @seancribbs @akahn @steveklabnik maybe, I hope Reel will soon offer good solutions for Webmachine + Websockets

June 14, 2012 #

merbist Matt Aimonetti
@bascule that'd be great, I need to see of WM can point a route to something that's not a resource. I guess that's just semantic

June 14, 2012 #

merbist Matt Aimonetti
@bascule @seancribbs @akahn @steveklabnik my question was more about the way you expose data
