I'm pretty sure every technology that promised "you dont have to ever look at it, tooling will take care of it for you" has failed because eventually you do have to look at it, and no effort has been put in to make it look "nice"*

*except arguably compilers. Its very rare that people look at the asm output outside of specialized domains.



Sure, and this is why the syntaxists has a point about xml. As usual, it comes down to “things are hard to type” or “thinks are hard to read” when the abstractions leak.


And that is doubly stupid for SOAP which is passing messages as text.

Pass text messages, which are text so you can interpret what is being sent and received much more easily than a binary protocol, using only binary tools.


Maybe it's more of a thing in certain circles but I see links to godbolt.org all the time.
