I liked this syntax so much I now use XQuery for everything

I would really like to use JSONiq as well, XQuery for JSON. It's such a beautiful language. Eagerly following along the development of RumbleDB and hoping to extract JSONiq from that one day (there's also support for XQuery)

XQuery 3.1 is also XQuery for JSON

Having spend a lot of time to implement both XQuery and JSONiq, I rather wish there was only one such language

May I ask why you wish there was only one? I'm researching JSONiq on a hobbybasis and am curious about all sorts of experiences with it
