I will commend gRPC for being brave enough to attach "RPC" to its name in 2020. Can't say the same for that quisling GraphQL, which is neither what I would call a query language nor has anything to do with graphs. A- for marketing effort, I suppose.

A tale as old as time. If your redux app is a bloated confusing mess, then try scaling down your department from 100 devs to the 10 that it actually needs. Most devs are bad at organization. Most devs are just bad in general. Ever see a bad developer grapple with TypeScript? I wager most codebases fall apart from disarray long before they reap any of the presumed benefits of most "best" practices. You can't fix social problems with technology. And code hygiene and state hygiene are fundamentally social issues. People think tools like Prettier can come around and clean their house for them. Like some Roomba for code. Even the best Roomba will smear dog shit all over the place.
I highly recommend you actually check out GraphQL. It definitely feels like it traverses relationships like a graph. It is more similar to a query language... like SQL actually because like SQL you can add more columns and more tables "similarly" and it really does join that data together.
It is actually a really good name. There are a lot of people that like to comment about that, but have never actually used it.
