Hi Gilles, Ed, I’m really glad and thrilled to read such good news!
At this point it’s cool to see that many initiatives have the same convergent needs regarding GraphQL as it will give us a good traction from the beginning if our PoC manage to sufficiently convince our peers. Let me know as soon as the branch have been made, I’ll work on it. Regards, Fl1nt.
