> The problem of resolving the data is not really that hard.

Says the person who also wrote this: "Yea, it’s much harder to design good resolvers, queries and limits".

> Those who got it work, talk about other problems, that are real: caching, for example. Or lack of URI and troubles with supporting linked data, structuring mutations, etc, etc.

Those who understand the problems with GraphQL talk about this, too. If only you were able to see what they are saying. For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25014009

So,

- much harder to design good resolvers, queries and limits

- problems with caching, for example. Or lack of URI and troubles with supporting linked data, structuring mutations

And yet, people who talk about these problems are somehow "incompetent developers who pine for the good old days of cgi/perl". Impeccable logic.




If you’ll keep cherry-picking this conversation will stop be entertaining. So yes, people who know what they’re talking about are discussing different set of problems that resolving data in general. I’m more and more convinced that you are not. And don’t twist my word, btw. I have nothing but respect for good old days guys and they are far from incompetent. But I f you think you belong to 2nd category, I want to point out that you can easily belong to both.
