Hi i know that you guys are familiar with your query language and questions about supporting others can be irritating 🙂 i know. However it is a fact that people do not feel like learning other languages, and at the same time there is an issue of perceived safety when a DB claims to be supporting a “known” language. Also it might be me but i find GraphQL+ pretty difficult to even understand for questions other than trivial entity lookups It might be me but… 🙂 anyway. here is the question are languages like [https://www.opencypher.org/](https://www.opencypher.org/) (better) or Gremlin realistically planned for 2019 and if so is there a ETA? I get a great feeling from the dgraph technology but its hard to imagine using it without the"cozy feeling" that it supports languages which have been used successfully by others. Thanks and have a great end of the year. ---

About the opencypher and Gremlin see last update about it [Product Roadmap 2018 · Issue #1966 · dgraph-io/dgraph · GitHub](https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/issues/1966) ---

Bad idea IMO, but you guys must have your reasons. For me it makes it very difficult to consider as opposed to others which have either a standard syntax (cypher, gremlin or sparql) or a much more simple one (arangoDB and others) ---

i personally enjoy dgraph’s syntax. it’s more “webby”, and brings some fresh air to the graph database landscape. real graphql compliance is the right direction, IMHO 🙂 ---

I think on a general level, the priority goes like this: - Official GraphQL spec. - Gremlin. - Cypher? / GQL? / SPARQL? – we’ll have to decide based on the adoption. Cypher, while popular, is still a niche language, and not a standard by any means. Neo4j is pushing for GQL, so by the time we support Gremlin, hopefully it is clear where do these cards fall.
