I really like the idea of GraphQL. The concept is understood in a few minutes (which is why the linked source is of no particular interest to me). But every once in a while I try to find some/ANY good resources on how to use it with a RDBS backend. There is nothing, so I immediately stop caring.

Maybe someone can enlighten me?

> Rust is a good solution, but it isn't trivial to learn, and might not suite all situations. I think it's great to have a C solution like this.

Isn't the learning curve of C pretty similar or even higher than rust's if you concider all the best practices you'll have to learn and understand and use? Imho in that regard rust pays off very well (and fast), because it's compiler _enforces_ most of these "best practices" to everyone.
