What people are saying

I have no experience in Django but in Ent with GraphQL. Ent is not a full-featured web framework so you need to implement many of features by your own or use other libraries…

Go is a great language for building GraphQL servers, the https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen library helps you by build type-safe GraphQL servers and reduces the boilerplate.

Otherwise I'd recommend TypeScript - the tooling ecosystem around GraphQL is definitely most advanced in the JS space.
