Could you build this?
Partial A basic data fetching wrapper can be built quickly, but creating a Relay-style data framework featuring compile-time fragment colocation, AST transforms, normalized caching, and optimistic updates requires deep compiler and reactive state expertise.
What it would actually take: Building a Relay-like framework requires a custom compiler (Babel/SWC plugin in Rust) to analyze component trees, extract colocated tRPC data fragments, and compose them into single, deduplicated root queries. At runtime, it requires a normalized in-memory graph store with garbage collection, subscription invalidations, and conflict resolution mechanisms. Deep expertise in static analysis, compiler plugins, and complex state synchronization architectures is needed.
