GraphQL isn't a system per-say, it's a spec and many tools around it. Putting the spec in a foundation (with a few of those tools) gives the entire community certainty about the direction of the project. Hopefully that spurs more people outside of FB to commit to GraphQL.

The existence of the foundation is orthogonal to FB's internal investment and usage of GraphQL, which was and will continue to be significant.

>"per-say" -> "per se"

Right pronunciation, but it's Latin. :)

Thanks! At least I learned something today.
per se = "in and by itself"

Having given tutoring in Latin when I was 15, I'm always dying a little inside if I'm reading "per say".
