> besides the syntax

  isn't that question like "cinema besides the movies"?
  • keymone 5y ago
    no, language is not just syntax.
    • mro_name 5y ago
      Nor is the cinema just movies.
      • keymone 5y ago
        so if cinema isn't just movies then what's the problem with asking about the difference in "cinema besides the movies"?
        • mro_name 5y ago
          it's senseless besides nit-picking.
          • keymone 5y ago
            that's just like your opinion man.

    the user experience. jq is often a one liner, terse and expressive. This jsoniq language looks almost like a scripting language, requiring multiple lines to write an expression.

      I have multiple 30+ lines jq scripts in my current project. So "often a one liner" is true, but it is not a requirement, so I'm still not sure why use this instead.
