Neo4j CTO: GQL is here: the evolution from Cypher & openCypher
openCypher has fulfilled its initial purpose, serving as the basis for a graph database lingua franca across much of the industry. It is heartwarming for the team that has been invested in curating openCypher to think that now GQL is finally here, openCypher can still have a different but useful role in ramping implementers and users onto GQL. Our dream is to see all openCypher implementations becoming GQL-conformant implementations, after which we will all be speaking GQL! Let’s make it happen.
