Manifold is an amazing piece of engineering. Scott McKinney, the author, used to work on Gosu but mostly focuses on this now.

He added GraphQL support a few weeks ago:

You can just drop graphql files in your resources directory and start coding against them as type-safe interfaces immediately, no code-gen required.

The @Jailbreak annotation is awesome too.

Looks pretty cool. Reminds me a lot of the ways in which Groovy improves Java.

Apache Groovy really improved on Beanshell (by adding closures, in 2003), which is what improved on Java (by adding dynamic typing, in late 1990's).
