So simple and so mature it needs an RFC.

I'll take the http API I can figure out in 10 seconds because I make API requests all day over some ancient tech I don't even want to begin to understand.

Does that make me lazy and a shit developer? Probably. Do I care. Definitely not.

Having an RFC hardly means it's not simple; it means it has a well-defined specification.

Do you actually think HTTP isn't specified in an RFC?
