@omz13 @aburka it’s interesting you mention that because ActivityStreams 2 started at IETF not W3C, mostly authored/implemented well before Evan inherited it after the original authors left SocialWG. There was a strategic decision to also work on it at W3C WG for wide review and to consider the needs of social web industry (of the time).

It’s not an either or thing. There are many applied developers at both. I’m a big IETF fan as well, where AS2 has roots.

@bengo @aburka I somehow missed it came via IETF. Nevertheless, I dislike AS2 with a passion. Being a big fan of strictly typed languages, it is a PITA to implement, as is all that LD, RDF, SOLID, and related stuff.
