I don't know why I never considered this sort of option to powershell out bash. My only problem with it is that it's in python (also why I don't really use jq), and that it's not something that just sets aliases behind the scenes.

If this were written in a performant language, if it simply aliased (i.e. invisibly) all common cli commands to a wrapper which would obviate the need for all of the text processing between steps in command pipelines, if it were versioned and I could include the version number in scripts, and finally if I could run versioned scripts through it to compile them into standard bash scripts (a big ask), I'd give it a 3 month test starting today. There'd be nothing to lose.

Just putting that out there for people who like to rewrite things in Rust. A slightly different version of this concept could allow for nearly friction-free adoption.

You also don’t like software written in C (the language jq is written in)?

Why is the python an issue for you? I also dislike and avoid tools written in python, unless they have an rpm available. If there's a package then I don't so much care what language it's in.
