jq seems to have a lot more functionality than this, but its DSL is slightly different. This one might be easier to use if it matches with your mental model more easily.

I've never used RoR but I know people that still swear by it. It's outdated by today's "standards," but ActiveRecord was and is still a gem (heh) and a lot of RoR's foundational principles have been adopted by

This is not my project, just something I found while looking for similar alternatives. I agree with your points though!

The make or break is whether this one is finally untethered or not. I miss the days when the jailbreak community was abundant both in users and developers. Unfortunately it seems like its days are (have been?) numbered. A shame, because rev

In general, one would hope that a nuclear system is designed such that the problem can easily be corrected if a single button or lever is accidentally pressed. It would be quite a terrible system if you could e.g. trigger a meltdown with ju
