Very excited as well for the release of Relay Modern! I think overall a huge boon for the Relay developer experience.

I'm with you here on the static queries. We've used Relay a couple of times as well for various smaller applications here and there, but honestly felt the "magic" was too strong. I'm looking forward to building my future apps and try out Relay Modern.

In addition, I want to be able to encourage more applications that build on our GraphQL platform called Scaphold.io (https://scaphold.io) to try out Relay Modern as well since our API is built to the Relay spec. With that in mind, I'm hoping that the spec will be less restrictive in the future, so there's a smaller learning curve for folks trying it out.

As for the concern with focusing on the internal needs of Facebook, I think the experience that they have working with one of the largest distributed systems in the world helps (rather than limits) their vision on what Relay can be. I trust that this is the case, though it would be really great to see some of the tooling for native support (i.e. iOS, Android, etc). I'm sure they've got that somewhere waiting to be released as I can imagine they have plenty of mobile teams at Facebook who aren't using React Native yet.
