#2Without doubt, GraphQL is the next technologo I will learn. The idea is so brillant compared to REST. If you are convinced by SQL and in general by Domain Specific Languages, I think you should give GraphQL a try.

I'm intrigued ... can you elaborate on the wow factor beyond REST that you see in GraphQL? When I looked at it in the past, it seems to make sense for things that could be represented by graph (e.g. FB's social graph), and graphql allowed you to run complex operations in the backend without fetching each individual node on the client. I clearly missed something?

I'm encouraged to hear your opinion on it. A friend of mine who turned me on to elixir is a fan of GraphQL as well. So you have pushed me to spend the day reading up on it and experimenting with it. Thank you.

#5If by "tech" you mean mostly computers and software, then WebAssembly is exciting. We've had 5 or more years now of companies inventing languages that compile back to Javascript, even though Javascript is a terrible target for compilation. WebAssembly was designed to be a true compilation target, and will allow an endless number of languages to be used on the browser.
WebAssembly helps create more space between the kind of languages that developers want to use, and any particular GUI output, such as HTML. In a different thread, I just wrote about what is wrong with HTML:

If by "tech" you don't mean computers/software, then CRSPR is clearly going to be a huge thing going forward.

#6AR. Being able to superimpose software on top of real objects is amazing. It has so much economic potential that it hurts not being in the space already (working on that though). I feel AR will be the app craze 2.0.

GraphQL has been a breath of fresh air -- you can tell a lot of thought went into its design and implementation.

Iron Man style AR has so much more consumer potential than VR imo. Being able to get real-time info about the world around me without having to wave my phone around would be killer.
