Five or so years ago I started to "implement" GraphQL, the Query language from scratch. Lexing, parsing, designing an AST. I had to rewrite everything multiple times, added validation and an execution engine. At some point I realized what I've actually built, the foundation to create an npm-like system for APIs, using GraphQL as the universal integration language for any kind of API. Since I understood how powerful this concept is I'm unable to stop working on it. I'm now turning this into a product/company, it's called WunderGraph: https://wundergraph.com/ Btw. the engine and everything is open source, it's written in Go: https://github.com/jensneuse/graphql-go-tools
