  • Abstract
    The scalability of the Web as a large scale distributed system can be attributed to the REST architectural style. Although originally established to support hypermedia document browsing, here we ask whether this same style can provide a programming abstraction for distributed programming over the Web infrastructure. This paper provides a preliminary exploration of an applicative programming style based on the REST abstraction.
