Hi author here. Slide 3 from my FOSDEM talks explains my own very subjects reasons for choosing jq https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/bintools_fq/attachments/slides/5660/export/events/attachments/bintools_fq/slides/5660/fq_fosdem_2023.pdf https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event/bintools_fq/attachmen... To sum up: Very CLI friendly syntax, generators/backtracking makes working with tree structures very convenient. But now after writing lots of jq i even thing writing multi line programs in jq to be quite nice :) but i can recommend IDE help, see end of slide 17
