I don't know about this one. We have a mini-framework that's kinda GraphQL but not quite. REST-ish, but not quite. Weakly documented and constantly dealing with edge cases. Breaks all sorts of standard OpenAPI tooling because the schema returned is monstrous. Used to cause all sorts of issues with TypeScript and stack recursion. Requires a ton of code -- owned by one guy -- to make the OpenAPI doc generation to work correctly.

I keep thinking "Just use GraphQL" because it's basically GQL at this point...except jankier.
