Were you suggesting that GraphQL is a homoiconic language?

In QBE the request resembles the response.

Yes they are both homoiconic. I said that was one of the key selling points of GraphQL. I don’t understand the conflict.

Who said there was a conflict? The two are related. That was the original point.
