What is it you don't like about GraphQL? It seems to do what it was designed to do pretty well. I take it the issue is more with the pseudo-databases it's used

- mattmanser 4y agoBecause it's now the 'right' way to do data. Even though it's not 90% of the time.
- native_samples 4y agoHuh interesting. I'm not that plugged in to tech fashions, but was looking at GraphQL just the other day. My conclusion was that it didn't fit though, mostly because I wanted something that supported truly ad-hoc querying and mutation. With GraphQL it's really more like an RPC protocol, so you have to figure out your queries ahead of time, there was nothing like SQL's ability to do ad-hoc querying.
