Random question: has the JQ query language been formalized? I have at least 3 separate implementations installed on my machine atm: JQ, Python YQ and the Go YQ CLI. They're all "mostly compatible" but at this point there should probably be a formal spec / grammar if there isn't one already. The minor differences between implementations are where they get you...

I believe there are currently some efforts underway as part of projects like jaq ( https://github.com/01mf02/jq-lang-spec ), though I’m not familiar with the current status. It is true, however, that many implementations introduce some minor changes.
