- johnymontana 11y agoNo, not crypto. Cypher is a graph query language, popularized in the Neo4j graph database. Its name may have been inspired by the Matrix movie...
- phpnode 11y agoThis is great: GraphQL has nothing to do with graphs. OpenCypher has nothing to do with ciphers.
- untothebreach 11y agoClearly, I need to start a project named 'GraphCypher,' which is a new, high-performance, HTTP2 server.
- michaelmior 11y agoI actually laughed out loud at this, although given the requirement for TLS, at least it would involve encryption.
- untothebreach 11y agohmmm....guess it will have to be a javascript framework then. Pivot! :)
- rakk 11y agoExtra golden seeing your username - I bet you are a ruby dev? :D
- jonpaine 11y agoThe database is called NEO(for java). All the examples are graphs of relationships in The Matrix, or of movies in general. Cypher is named for the character in the movies. :)
