I've been working in a Windows shop for 2 years and I'm to the point where I just tell people to rewrite things in Powershell. It has native json support so yes, jq is obsolete.
On this list, I've looked at elvish before, it seems like it also is designed to make jq obsolete, and it is much more posixy than Powershell (though I think parts of posix really hold shells like Oil back from being as powerful as Powershell is and something like elvish may be.)
- eterm 6y agoFor anyone reading not familiar with powershell, even better than native json support it supports actual objects. Not everything needs to be text. Complex data structures deserve first class support in a modern shell.
