this one is my favorite. seeing my coworkers add swagger and get all excited over a description language for their API.... but then act like WSDL is some abomination is really funny

WSDL is the ultimate api :) it would make my day to see the wsdl comeback of 2018

One of the service providers we use recently started deprecating their "SOAP" APIs in favor of "REST". Which doesn't bother me because with this provider they're far easier to work with.

But since they provided WSDL before, their "REST" APIs now come with WADL files that offer zero value to anyone. Swagger would be a massive step up from that.
