And this post didn't mentioned custom functions, where things are getting more interesting :-) https://acalustra.com/jq-functions-modules-and-dotfiles-tips...

At that point why not write a Python script?

jq is a much, much more expressive language than Python at applying similar operations to the list of inputs (with fanout!).

How about combining the best of both worlds: https://github.com/mwilliamson/jq.py

Yeah, jq has some of the benefits that APL users like to talk about.

I'm not disagree with you, but in this case all stored in custom dotfiles, as functions, easy to use IMHO than a custom Python script.

But I use a lot JQ, so it's super easy for me ;-)
