Oh, the irony!

For so long now I have happily taunted Mark B. about how I love to tunnel my own favourite architectural style and application protocol over his favoured architectual style and beloved application protocol (amongst others).

Now with the arrival of SCA I feel like I've been tunnelled too! The fact that SCA invents its own model of distributed computing and tunnels it over arbitrary underlying architectures (at once reducing REST, MEST, and the others to lowest common denominator) makes me feel equally abused.

Mark, I feel your pain! Now if I only had a fraction of your tenacity :-)

A different kind of tunneling, but yah, it's yet another disrespectful abstraction. Why is this practice so prevalent? Only because those designing the abstractions fail to do their homework on what it is they're abstracting, I think.
