I still kind of think you can have great REST and JSON and make full use of a great RDBMS.

REST/JSON with strong schemas (and loose where that makes sense), using Postgres and C++.

REST/JSON makes sense between a human backed browser and a middle tier; between machines, SOAP is the best contract first technology, or at least a custom XSD backed XML schema.
