…shouldn't be the only way. There also needs to be json and microformats. XML and in particular heavily namespaced XML is not very popular today with developers outside the enterprise. The datamodel isn't too bad but I think it is too complex. There are too many data elements:
AtomPub for payments
To create a payment you POST a chunk of atom xml to a URL creating an entry. I'm glad it follows HTTP conventions. I'm not in love with allowing GETS for modifying …

In most cases, it would be easier and just as performant to write that code in Java, and many pure-Ruby libraries perform well enough to reduce the need for native code. In addition, there are often libraries that already do what the perf-driven extensions were written for, and it's trivial to just call those libraries …

…very different. Olap4j is an OLAP interface for java applications. XML for analysis ( XMLA) is an industry standard analytical interface originally created by Microsoft, SAS and Hyperion.

- How Software is Built: Interview with Brian Gentile - CEO of Jaspersoft
Rails takes an extreme viewpoint, the polar opposite of the XML heavy, configuration tangled mess of traditional enterprise software. This viewpoint is necessary---without it we have no alternative---but that doesn't mean it is the best way to build applications. In their book " First, Break All The Rules ", Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman explain that the the common method of selecting top managers by looking for the opposite of bad managers is wrong.

…project is an attempt to enable people to use dynamic languages with Maven. Normally, you would use an XML file to describe your Maven project, but we have some very interesting collaborations with people like Charles Nutter from the Jruby project. About a month ago, we took Maven central, which had about 100,000 data artifacts in it, and we did something in our Nexus project that dynamically turns a Maven repository into a Ruby Gems repository. So, we turned Maven central into …

We just founded Couchio, which is the company wrapped around CouchDB, last December. I moved my family out to California in January, and we're doing the whole startup thing in Silicon Valley. We're focusing on services …
