> I still think jq's syntax and data model is unbelievably elegant and powerful once you get the hang of it - but its "standard library" is unfortunately sorely lacking in many places

After a few years of stalled development, jq has been taken over recently by a new team of maintainers and is rapidly working through a lot of longstanding issues (https://github.com/jqlang/jq), so I'm not sure if this is still the case

Wasn't aware of that, that's great to hear! I think if there is one utility that deserves a great maintainer team then this one. But if we saw some actual improvements in the future, that would be awesome!

I have a list of pet peeves that I'd really like to see fixed, so I'm gonna risk a bit of hope.
