Sanity CMS supports query language called GROQ but you can also query data with GraphQL.
This got me thinking, what does GROQ give me that GraphQL doesn't. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts if you've used one, the other or both! What's the deal with GROQ?
What's your experience of GROQ and is there a reason to use it over a plain GraphQL query?

Currently using Sanity CMS in a project @ work - The team look as if they've got good momentum but specifically to Sanity, they seem to be more focused on a adaptability of GROQ. Documentation/support is more focused on GROQ, which might be detriment to users who are wanting to actively pursue GraphQL. Especially with their Gatsby plugin which is missing a couple of key features where we've had to utilise a couple of _raw fields which isn't ideal.
That said, I've looked @ GROQ, but definitely went for GraphQL for ease of use
Just googled it:
nordicapis.com/review-of-groq-a-ne...
Looks solid. Would still go for graphql due to its adoption...
Have you used GROQ before?
Thanks for the link, Iβm leaning towards GraphQL too because of adoption.
