I think this looks very cool, but this quote concerns me: If you’re into laziness and magic (who isn’t?) Magic is great until you run into an edge case, or try to do anything complicated. Then it tends to bite you in the ass. I can see this being a great tool for whipping out quick prototypes, but I'd be scared to use it for anything bigger. That being said, it does look very cool!

> Magic is great until you run into an edge case, or try to do anything complicated Yep totally agree. While it's not complete yet, (see https://github.com/samdenty/gqless/blob/master/README.md#gqless-compiler-wip https://github.com/samdenty/gqless/blob/master/README.md#gql...) I've designed with the sole focus for being used inside complex applications. The "magic" part is only a small portion of gqless. For 1.0, there will be an option to "use plain queries". I've tried re-inventing everything - but it's also innovating in the reactive, query-optimization, local state and cache areas. It can do even more optimizations than Relay ;)
