To be fair, I have 0 experience with GraphQL so I probably should not have mentioned it. I spent the last 10 years in pseudo-embedded land and systems programming and some purely backend high throughput systems (ad tech), not doing much 'web' related. I'd like to play with GraphQL.
That said, GraphQL is not a relational query language, and works in the world of hierarchical/graph database land. I think Date & Codd did a good job of critiquing that model and showing its faults the first time around (the 1970s).
