I’ve been learning React - love it. It’s really clean. At least when you’re looking at noddy learning examples. Much less icky than Ember.
Co I'm working for also uses GraphQL, which I think is OK.
In the olden days we used to call that "query by example" and it's not even a little new conceptually, just a different implementation, in my opinion. Much less linear and procedural than REST.
Aside: SQL isn't linear either, just people pretend it is. The model fits better with GraphQL tbh.
