I find jq's syntax (and docs) kind of opaque, but I guess we have no other options. And I don't think this latest incarnation breaks any new ground there. But it'd be better if I just wrote it myself - "be the change ...."

Well, as pointed out in the jaq docs there is jql.

But I just looked at jql and I liked it even less. The pedantry about requiring all keys in selectors to be double quoted is, um, painful for a CLI tool.

Someone else above pointed out JJ which looks much easier to use.
ChatGPT or the warp chatbot is pretty good at jq syntax
