i neither know nor care what language the original jq was implemented in.

I can think of two reasons it matters here:

- Can be used as a library in Go projects

- Memory-safe (could be relevant when processing foreign data, esp as a part of some automated process)

Yep, Benthos is an example of a cool project that uses gojq for its jq syntax support.
FYNI jq was originally implemented in Haskell.
