I agree with you but I do wish for something that can improve on rest in ways GraphQL at least purports to.

Query chaining/batching and specifying a sub-selection of response data seem like solid features.

The graph schema seems to make good on some of the HATEOS promises.

I like the idea of GraphQL but the downsides have me worried.

Graphiti always seemed like a cool project in this vein.

What do you consider the downsides?

No caching. Not enough benefit at the present to warrant throwing away all the restful tooling we currently have.
