Great, welcome aboard! It's always exciting to get things done faster.

1. Think about N+1 early, most real life projects will need some sort of 
dataloader. It's nice if it's integrated.


You have much more background for thinking about query performance than 
I do, so all suggestions are warmly welcome.


2. Allow a schema first approach. This helps with interop, I have seen 
dotnet graphql schemas which are easily recognizable as such.


I don't understand what any of that means :)

Current repo here: .

We should find some communication channels so we don't spam 
chicken-users too much. I suggest we talk on the schemeweb mailing list 
(https://srfi.schemers.org/scheme-lists-subscribe.html). It aims to 
develop a portable Scheme web stack, so a GraphQL implementation would 
fit right in. It's very low-traffic ATM, so maybe more traffic would 
inspire more people to hack on web projects :) I personally like GitHub 
issues as well. Private email is fine. I don't normally use IRC but I can.

I am currently working on a GraphQL PoC at work. The chicken deployment story 
combined with GraphQL suppport would be very nice.

So I am very interested to look at this. Some ideas off the bat already:

1. Think about N+1 early, most real life projects will need some sort of 
dataloader. It's nice if it's integrated.
2. Allow a schema first approach. This helps with interop, I have seen dotnet 
graphql schemas which are easily recognizable as such.

I had a quick look at the R6RS page and god that shit is ugly :)
But you're right, using these low-level constructors seems the best way
to do this.  Maybe you can use gensyms or uuids for the record names.
uuids probably work better if you later want to generate a types database
for the library.
