REST can practically never die - it's just describes how most of the internet works: HTTP + links.

Maybe people will stop using REST APIs, but REST will still be a thing as long as HTTP is.

GraphQL seems like it can solve some pain points of REST once you start using REST APIs at a massive scale. REST improves on SOAP in even the tiniest of cases.

IMHO for a technology to be called dead it needs to stop being used in large corporations and open projects.

I'm still aware of heaps of SOAP APIs, especially in more niche industries, where porting to REST must not have been in the budget :D.
