What's contained, what isn't (in terms of what functionality available and/or possible - e.g. client gen???, xSQL gen), what to build to add to complement/contribute to the package. The first phase, docs. I have already begun working through the code and it's beginning to make sense. To be fair it's more about my fluency in D than the package itself. I haven't been coding for a while so it gets kinda rusty. I'm also familiar with GraphQL in Node.js. The issue I find with graphqld package is their selection of terminologies (+ how the code is written). The code is also a test so it uses all the features of the package and not necessarily the essentials. So it will take some time to figure it out...including reading the original source code of the package. My current understanding is it uses vibe.d to serve some static data. It does some validation of schema among other things and since the example meant as a development guinea pig, it uses all the API spread throughout the code. I've not given it much time to filter those out myself. Will take a look once more after watching his DConf video about itsomething about all spreadsheets must die. Any help would be appreciated though. Hit me up in the dlang discord... @aberba

I'm pretty sure they use it at Symmetry Investments though. Hmmm... Maybe the universe is trying to tell us something... Looks like one or both of us are meant to figure it out. According to what you've said, you're still in a state of postponement, while I, on the other hand have just returned from my SECOND postponement. :( I even considered falling back to Node and Prisma but I just can't bring myself to do it. Not now that I know D. It's just not something I could stomach. I have tried. Guess I'm just gonna have to suck it up. Brush up on the intricacies of D, and dig into the codebase. It would seem to be the path of least resistance. I'll come out the other side a better person for it, no doubt. With the number of key D packages that happen to be attributed to Symmetry Investments/Kaleidic Associates, I wouldn't want to trouble them with this directly at this juncture. Especially as I haven't even given it a proper go yet. From the outside looking in, they have gone above and beyond already. If they say it's a WIP, I'm good with that. It's all a generous contribution. And they seem to have a strong track record of making those. I, on the other hand, can use this as an opportunity to make my first. Seems like a little less of a trudge now I guess
