Have jq always been a fully-capable turing-complete language? Or did it become this monstrosity step by step, somewhat naturally? I wasn't even aware until today that it's… uh… a programming language.
- wwader 4y agoI think it has been turing complete for a long while. Here is the first prototype in haskell before it was convert to C https://github.com/stedolan/jq/commit/eca89acee00faf6e9ef55d84780e6eeddf225e5c https://github.com/stedolan/jq/commit/eca89acee00faf6e9ef55d..., it's very basic but i would guess it has enough things to be turing complete.
