    It's both sad and ironic how someone replied with "Ok boomer," SQL is based on relational algebra that dates to 1960-70ies, and GraphQL is based on graph theory that dates back to the 18th century. Many from the modern generation of self-taught programmers are so eager to hop on just any kind of the hype train without even questioning the rationale of things. On the other hand - ithere are many young programmers who do respect the fundamentals and do create fantastic projects. I guess the future is bright but messy. Most of the time, it is messy.
