Hi,

are there any plans to develop this libary, neo4j-graphql, in other languages like python?

If so, do you know the ETA?

Thanks in advance.

I think we're mostly focusing on Javascript for now...but for Python you could always try out the server side GraphQL plugin in the mean time. Not sure if you've seen that - [GitHub - neo4j-graphql/neo4j-graphql: GraphQL bindings for Neo4j, generates and runs Cypher](https://github.com/neo4j-graphql/neo4j-graphql)

Also cc'ing @lyonwj who runs all things GraphQL at Neo

We don't currently have plans to implement neo4j-graphql in Python. We're focusing on building out all the features we want in neo4j-graphql-js first and then will develop a plan for porting to other languages.

As Mark points out you could use the GraphQL database plugin to have the GraphQL ---\> Cypher generation logic in Neo4j itself: [Neo4j GraphQL Library - Neo4j GraphQL Library](https://grandstack.io/docs/neo4j-graphql-plugin.html)

Also, there was a good article showing how to use GraphQL with Neo4j and Python using Graphene (a Python GraphQL library) and the Py2neo OGM: [Diving into GraphQL and Neo4j with Python | by Charles David | Elements blog | Medium](https://medium.com/elements/diving-into-graphql-and-neo4j-with-python-244ec39ddd94)

Are you abandoning development on the plugin? I haven't seen a commit in 5 months and the issue backlog grows slowly but steadily.

No, not abandoning. There's been some recent work to update for Neo4j v3.5, for example:

> **[GitHub - neo4j-contrib/neo4j-graphql at 3.5](https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/neo4j-graphql/tree/3.5)**
>
> 3.5

Currently the immediate plan in JVM-land for GraphQL is to extract some of the GraphQL --\> Cypher query translation logic from the plugin into a separate library.
