That said, Shopify does GraphQL for 3rd party usage but that feels a bit heavy IMO. I think GraphQL works nicely when you own both clients and API. REST makes more sense when you own API but not the client implementations.

I view this more through the lens of what different customers expect. We're moving towards GraphQL for our first-party clients but want to provide REST APIs to 3rd party developers and advertisers since that is a better experience.

Oh! To the TypeSpec project we're working on the GraphQL emitter. More broadly we want TypeSpec to provide a unified schema for all of our API customers versus fragmenting schemas based on what the particular interface is (e.g. GraphQL vs. OpenAPI).

TypeSpec is exciting and we're investing in it at Pinterest too! I would gently challenge the statement that OpenAPI is easy to use for humans given its verbosity compared to TypeSpec (i.e. you can express the same thing in TypeSpec vs. OpenAPI in significantly less written code).

Obrigado, Pedro!

The Final Fantasy discourse is a huge place.

But one could argue it’s basically populated by five different people.

Yup, that’s what I’m doing today 🎉
