Suggestion: Improve package discovery

[sogko]

For discussion, how to improve discovery of this package

For a start, updating the repo description, at the very least, would help with other golang users/devs looking for a GraphQL package library for Golang,

Most of the golang community would google for Go related stuff by adding a golang keyword
(since go is a common keyword)

For e.g
Current repo description:
An implementation of GraphQL for Go

Suggested repo description:
An implementation of GraphQL for Go / Golang

For reference, other golang GraphQL libraries' description:

• https://github.com/cryptix/go-graphql : GraphQL packages for golang
• https://github.com/tmc/graphql : graphql parser + utilities
• https://github.com/sevki/graphql: GraphQL implementation in go https://graphql.co

For your consideration 😃

Btw: I've added this repo to this awesome-graphql list

• https://github.com/chentsulin/awesome-graphql#go-libraries

Thanks for your consideration about this @sogko.

I had changed the package description to: An implementation of GraphQL for Go / Golang
Thanks a lot for adding it to awesome-graphql 🌟

Also I've send a pull-request to add graphql-go to awesome-go

godoc.org had already indexed the library some weeks ago 👍

[sogko]

Awesome! 👍🏻 Let's hope more people pick up this library and contribute back!

I really want to see a Relay-compliant server in golang eventually coming out from this project.
Scala has a graphql implementation sangria-graphql with a library for Relay which seems to be really great.

This seems to be the most active graphql implementation for go. I'm going to mess around with it a bit and hopefully be able to contribute back

Thanks for taking the time if you do so! 🌟

Hi, I played around with the js official version a bit and wonder how I can compare the go implementation with it. I saw @sogko's blog post and started exploring but please comment on feature parity with the js implementation or compliance with the spec. thanks for your work on this. bsr.

Hi @bsr203, you can think about this project as the graphql-js in Go plus all the great features Go provides.

The current state of the project is a working version as @sogko had shown on this example, there are still some things to get done and improve, but I am confident we will have the first production ready version in the next weeks, planning myself using it on production.

Basically we are porting all the graphql-js code to this project, which ofc includes all the tests, so we are confident about have the same functionality as the original version does.

@chris-ramon thanks a ton for quick reply. I glimpsed through the source and it is quite easy for me to follow than js version. Thanks again for all your hard work and will comment on anything I come across. cheers.

hehehe, glad to know that @bsr203 👍 - thanks to @sogko, he had done enormous effort as well to reach the current state of the project 🚀
