Hi,
Hydra suffers from the same problem as REST (the original architectural
concept, not the label loosely applied to anything using HTTP ;) It solves
a problem most developers don’t have, in a way that’s harder to adopt, and
with less tooling than the alternatives.
Perhaps the advent of the "agentic web" (whatever that term ultimately
comes to mean) could shift the demand. But that would also require
rethinking the specification, evolving the core concepts, and adapting them
to better reflect today’s realities and our expectations for the near
future.
Best regards,
Filip
