While I appreciate the influence Rust syntax has had on this API, what does the OP consider the main advantages to GraphQL Client over other GraphQL clients such as Houdini, Apollo, or urql? Why should I switch from Houdini to this client?

It's hilarious to me that even with 25 years of engineering hindsight, you can only point to one framework that has executed well enough to be considered superior to CSS. With 20 years of prior art to look at, new options should be bet

On the frontend, the users control the execution environment. On the backend, developers control the execution environment. It had to be this way for the web to scale the way it did. Most developers are control freaks. "I put in input,

Some developers today think CSS-in-JS is a good idea. Web devs also wanted HTML to look and parse like XML. Backend devs also thought RPC with XML envelopes (SOAP) was the path forward. Developers in all time periods have held curious ideas

Layout has always been easy to learn but difficult to master. This has been true since long before the advent of CSS and the web. You think the folks working at newspapers of record never had to hack something up to make it fit right above

As someone who was doing frontend development since before CSS existed (I jumped in somewhere around when the <center> tag was introduced), I can probably answer any of your questions. Most answers—especially for those early features—

Better not to think of it as global variables and more like annotations for cross-cutting concerns. That said, don't blame CSS just because React treated it like a second class citizen. Try Svelte. Matches the components there perfectl

It's been a while since I looked at SchemaSpy. It has improved a lot since I last looked. Thanks for the recommendation! I wish the layout were a little more polished, but the content/functionality is definitely there.
