Got it. I didn't realize. Checking out the docs, looks like GQL is based on Cypher. So in the thread people were talking about it, just calling it GQL as the common name, not Cypher as the original name and I missed it.

GQL-SQL - for queries.

GraphQL, more for REST??

GQL is related to Cypher, but not a common name for Cypher.

Has some history behind it.
