Wait so... It's not about crypto? That's a little confusing name wise.

No, not crypto. Cypher is a graph query language, popularized in the Neo4j graph database. Its name may have been inspired by the Matrix movie...

This is great:

GraphQL has nothing to do with graphs.

OpenCypher has nothing to do with ciphers.

Clearly, I need to start a project named 'GraphCypher,' which is a new, high-performance, HTTP2 server.

I actually laughed out loud at this, although given the requirement for TLS, at least it would involve encryption.

hmmm....guess it will have to be a javascript framework then. Pivot! :)

Extra golden seeing your username - I bet you are a ruby dev? :D

The database is called NEO(for java). All the examples are graphs of relationships in The Matrix, or of movies in general.

Cypher is named for the character in the movies. :)
