June 2025: Focused on performance and correctness in sangria. Implemented FutureResolver performance optimizations by reducing memory allocations and pre-allocating capacity in hot paths, delivering improved efficiency and lower GC pressure. Added a test to ensure correct rendering of nested lists in the schema renderer, addressing a list-formatting issue and preventing regressions. These efforts contribute to higher throughput, more stable large-schema handling, and a smoother developer experience for schema authors and integrators.
