The bad news is that much like how "I'm just going to DSL this ..." inevitably morphs into a full-blown programming language[1], so too is the ubiquitous "gah, your language is too complex, I'm going to just use this other tool that implements my favorite 10% of the cases"

which is a long way of saying: or else what? There's 100% no way that I'm going to ever, ever use <<python3 -c "import json, sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin)[...ohgawd...]">> and if you are, then more power to ya and jq apparently doesn't solve a problem you have
