Wait so... It's not about crypto? That's a little confusing name wise.

No, not crypto. Cypher is a graph query language, popularized in the Neo4j graph database. Its name may have been inspired by the Matrix movie...

This is great:

GraphQL has nothing to do with graphs.

OpenCypher has nothing to do with ciphers.

Clearly, I need to start a project named 'GraphCypher,' which is a new, high-performance, HTTP2 server.

I actually laughed out loud at this, although given the requirement for TLS, at least it would involve encryption.

The database is called NEO(for java). All the examples are graphs of relationships in The Matrix, or of movies in general.

Cypher is named for the character in the movies. :)
