This is because REST and RPC seem more similar to general-purpose programming language paradigms than does messaging; the former approaches provide abstractions that give the impression of procedure calls and method invocations, with which many programmers are already familiar.
Yet, REST and RPC are brittle mechanisms in comparison to general-purpose programming languages. It’s highly unlikely that a procedure ...
