I quite like what Apiary.io is doing!

The services they provide are really useful for developing & testing REST services, but it is also cool because the service can be used for somewhat unexpected things :-).

I have used their API from F# to create a "type provider" (a compiler plugin) that smoothly generates type information based on the blueprint, so you can program against REST service documented on Apiary with autocomplete and type checking:

The description is here: http://fsharp.github.io/FSharp.Data/experimental/ApiaryProvi...

And a larger example (running as JavaScript) is here (sorry for the poor formatting): http://funscript.info/samples/moviedatabase.html
