Weird sensationalized title to just show an alternative.
I expected a blog post comparing both tools.
- linuxftw 3y agoI feel like the animated gif does a great job explaining how it works. If you're at all familiar with jq, it's immediately obvious what this tool does.
- hoherd 3y agoSeeing what a tool does isn't a comparison. A blog post would hopefully be insightful and point out non-obvious things, like how jq is arguably abandonware. https://github.com/jqlang/jq/issues/2305 https://github.com/jqlang/jq/issues/2305
- linuxftw 3y agoI don't see how jq being abandonware is relevant to a different tool with a different feature set.
- hoherd 3y agoSee, this is exactly what a blog post could explain. It's relevant because people who need a tool that hasn't been abandoned are looking for an alternative. The reducers in fx could be a replacement for jq in many use cases, and their feature sets overlap quite a lot.
- tikhonj 3y agoLooks like the jq repo just got some new maintainers and has had ≈20 commits over the last few days.
