I think it's quite nice and intuitive to describe a pipe of filters as: filter | filter | filter. Also note that a single filter in jq is 1:N, 1 input N output

I think it's quite nice and intuitive to describe a pipe of filters as: filter | filter | filter. Also note that a single filter in jq is 1:N, 1 input N output where N can be zero which is a very useful feature. To express this in python etc you would probably need nested for i in (for j in ...)) and/or also use nested yield from somehow which results in a note a very CLI/ad-hoc query friendly syntax
