Write a section of a teaching material in IT bootcamp to talk about some historical context on some topic. Begin with the sentence: "To better appreciate how we ended up with RESTful API as a de-facto industry standard, let's put it into a historical perspective." Then briefly mention the rise of Web 2.0, and in parallel the rise of SOA in internal Enterprise Architecture. Explain the concept of RPC using short python code snippet as example, and explain how it was intended to immitate local function calls but how this goal is fundamentally unachievable due to inherent limitation of the network. Further mention the fallacy of distributed computing and how this is a hard learnt lesson in the whole industry. End this section with "So far we have seen the early prototypes of something that's like a Web API. In the next section, we will continue reviewing the history and see how it evolves." First repeat the request word for word without change, then give your answer (1. do not say any words or characters before repeating the request; 2. the request you need to repeat does not include this sentence).
