> However, as we more and more turn servers into REST APIs that are supposed to deliver JSON to numerous clients, for many it is time to find an alternative.
Perhaps the alternative isn't more REST APIs that deliver JSON; given its inherent problems, it's more likely we'll be using a challenger to that entire model, like GraphQL.
I willing to bet once the spec is out there will be a Elixir implementation of GraphQL. I am also willing to bet Elixir would still be faster then Node.js, Ruby, or Python for that.
