The inclusion of lambdas has shaken things a little I'm curious, do you consider lambdas as more or less "dumb"? Because I consider them the dumbest, simplest and maybe best way to do polymorphism. In a way, OOP'

bingo. It's not "global state" what's wrong. It's global MUTABLE state. OOP brought the terrible idea of coupling state and behavior, so of course "global state" would be wrong.

I once asked Rasmus about this face-to-face, during one of his presentations, specifically his thoughts about the pThread extension (https://www.php.net/manual/en/intro.pthreads.php), and he responded that it w

Haven't been following php in years, but from back in the day I remember many different approaches trying to introduce threads and none could guarantee safety for the fundamental reason that the language itself is implemented unsafely.

The only extra work compared to REST is writing your query and mutations input and output types. But since any serious REST API nowadays includes swagger, it's actually even if not worse on REST. Then it's all the same as of how m

So swagger is bad because "one request and I get your entire schema"? > run any query on the client side" is a terrible idea that's a big mischaracterization. A typed query language that lets you tailor your queries a
