#4Yeah, the author calls to re-invent ASN.1, BSON and MessagePack. Something one could expect from a guy that mainly knows Java: lack of experience and knowledge about what is already there. Also lack of understanding why the heck all the protocols are text-based.
My point is coupling of encoding and behavior, not the absence of suitable encodings

#5I'd like to point out that REST is not something built on top of the Web, it's actually the architectural style on which the Web is based (even though this style has been defined years after the Web was invented). You can have a resource model for your domain and build your own custom RESTful protocol on top of raw TCP/UDP and pick a binary encoding for data transfer.

You did not get the point. Ofc there are many binary protocols available. However in the RFC's and standards one chooses to couple behaviour and textual protocol. BTW, do you really think a 20+ year software engineer has not heard of BSON, MSGPACK, SBE, .. ? Always consider you might be the person with lack of experience and understanding before allegating this to other people :P . My point is coupling of encoding an…

Judging from the article alone? I really think so. The article being published under Java umbrella, which is not exactly known for gathering good engineers, does not help here either.
