How and why GraphQL will influence the Sourcehut alpha

If you don't like REST, don't use it.

Whatever you do, don't even think that GraphQL will solve your problems. You were on the right track staying away from it till now.

I can't also advise enough to stay away from a typed language (Go in this case) serving data in a different typed language (gql). You will eventually be pulling your hair out jumping through hoops matching types.

After my last web project that require gql and go, I did some digging around, thinking, there has to be a better alternative to this. I have worked with jQuery, React, GraphQL.

My conclusion was that next time I will stick to turbolinks (https://github.com/turbolinks/turbolinks) and try stimulus (https://stimulusjs.org/).

And here I thought Basecamp was still 100% rails. Interesting to see that they're also developing backend JS frameworks.

Stimulus is a frontend framework.

Turbolinks doesn't work with third party(js) anything.
