I can't even parse this sentence. What does it mean?
FWIW jq was originally written in Haskell, then ported to C. The C source for the core parts is strikingly clean. I think, it's partly from this Haskell heritage that jq gets its nice composability.
However, TBF, I do find I must refresh jq syntax whenever I use it (pr only bc I don't process json often). It will be interesting to see what jtc does - though this foreshadowing does not bode well...
