Products like Paragon which to me is a scripting system that connects between various ecosystems like Stripe, Twilio, etc., are popping up all over. This silly way of using the HTTP primitives to coordinate between programs is a bizarre historical artifact, that screams out for the equivalent of Apple events, whereby a program publishes a set of operations and remote systems can then control it. It is downright crazy to convert his all to URL's with clumsy encoding systems, and pathetic error reporting such as 4xx codes. There were great solutions in the single computer world, why can't this be generalized across machines? We shouldn't need a coordinating tool that is proprietary.

Tuplespaces anyone?

@shalabh Hmmm, I'll bite. Tell me more about Tuplespaces, my personal favorite topic!
But looking at the Paragon demo, it was very slick. mostly fill in the forms. How does it differ from StoryScript?
Backend only I guess, or can you do UIs in paragon too?

How does this meaningfully differ from Zappier or IFTTT or their army of derivatives?

@Zubairq - I have nothing of depth, just the idea that tuplespace like architectures also seem like a good foundation for cross service coordination.

@shalabh yeah I think the language of he future will be tuple space based
