I remember from a David Nolen talk that Relay/GraphQL and Falkor were actually developed in complete isolation from each other, believe it or not.
The fact that these two companies came up with the same idea independently just reinforces how truly beneficial it must be.
I can't wait to try Om Next's implementation of this concept in my apps!

fwiw Jafar announced last week it would be open sourced in the next couple of weeks [1], and a number of people have access already and are helping with documentation and the like.
Falcor and Relay are conceptually similar but Relay is much more of a query engine, and Falcor isn't so much.

AFAIK Falcor was announced just six months ago in spring 2015; I assume it is making progress towards a release. Relay wasn't based on it.
You're mistaken. My first exposure to it was a talk at QCon in Nov 2013. It wasn't posted publicly online until Feb 2014, but here's the link: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/netflix-reactive-rest
