Hey relax man, chill, just tone it down a notch, better for your health, you sound very agitated ... "my dismissiveness of DCOM" and "I have no respect", really? Big words my friend, I've said none of that.
So I have no respect, but then immediately you start ranting about the "tyranny of idiots" and "pandering to the ABM crowd" (what is that by the way?) - I just wonder how much "respect" such statements are showing.
I'm absolutely fine with DCOM being a fantastic RPC technology, but comparing DCOM or gRPC with REST is comparing apples and oranges. If I've coded a controller in Laravel or Rails and I want to do an Ajax call from my JS frontend, then yes, I'll just use REST and process a JSON response, if you don't mind. Totally eludes me why every app or website, even simple ones, would need high end RPC technology rather than HTTP and Ajax, just seems overkill to me. Most apps or websites aren't rocket science.
For those (rare) cases where it does provide benefits, then by all means do use RPC or whatever you prefer. One-size-fits-all doesn't exist my friend.
Oh and what is the "ABM crowd"?
