Falcor is actually part of the "old" architecture described in the talk. Because it's mostly unknown and no longer used I didn't go into the details of it.

Falcor was developed at the time Facebook was developing GraphQL in-house. It has similar concepts, but never took off the way GraphQL did.

Netflix themselves have moved off falcor though

`Sad Prime noises`

iirc falcor predated graphql

I was at the React Rally conference where Falcon was publcly announced in August of 2015. I recall that Facebook gave a GraphQL presentation right before.

It seems GraphQL was first announced publicly in February 2015.

Probably because most people don't want to work with Java
