Sorry to make a political post here… it seems appropriate. Former German chancellor Helmut Kohl has passed; without passing a judgment on him as a person or his political views, I can hardly think of anyone more responsible for seizing the opportunity for German reunification (and thus, probably allowing for graphcool’s existence in the first place in a unified Berlin).
