Brevity vs clarity in naming operators #19
Description
When writing an interface for comparison operators like != or >=, it's common to use abbreviations like ne or gte rather than writing out notEqual or greaterThanOrEqual. Understandably, GraphQL queries can be verbose enough without us making it worse. However, I've also fielded questions in the past about libraries like Sequelize or Hasura's generated schemas that boiled down to the person simply not understanding what the abbreviation meant. On the one hand, we can hash that up to a case of "read the docs". On the other hand, we might be inadvertently making it harder for the humans composing the queries. When reading these queries, is it quicker for me to mentally process notEqual or ne? What about non-native speakers of English?
I don't have particularly strong feelings on the subject, but I think it might be worth discussing.
