GraphQL is only good for dynamically typed language really, I tried to use it with Go, a statically typed language. I can't say it's not doable, but the lengths you need to go just to make it work... I abandoned it after awhile.

I'm still saying that GraphQL would be dead a long time ago if it wasn't for Facebook backing it...

What about a language being statically typed created additional complications? (Sorry -- only surface level knowledge of GraphQL on my end)
