Reviewer scorecard
“IBM acquisition slowed development. The auto-generation from REST to GraphQL was interesting but the market moved on.”
“50x faster than ESLint with zero config. Catches the most impactful lint rules without the plugin complexity.”
“GraphQL-as-a-service is a solution looking for a larger market. Most teams that want GraphQL can build it.”
“The speed makes linting instantaneous in editors and CI. The focused rule set means less noise than full ESLint.”
“API composition will be important but AI-powered approaches may replace declarative GraphQL generation.”
“Rust-based linting joins SWC, Rspack, and Biome in the JavaScript Rust toolchain revolution.”
