Doesn't the command-line utility `jq` already define a protocol for this? How do the syntaxes compare?

(LLMs are already very adept at using `jq` so I would think it was preferable to be able to prompt a system that implements querying inside of source code as "this command uses the same format as `jq`")

    Oh wow, it got undeleted. Some editor insisted on deleting it because it was a "personal project" (Stephen Dolan's) even though it has a huge user base. I guess now that it has a proper "org" in GitHub it's different. What nonsense.

      It's likely because there's a citation in a paper. That's apparently the bar you need to reach to get Wikipedia to see something as significant enough. I tried to get a draft article about SourceHut ( https://sourcehut.org/ ) to be published after extensive improvements and they refused because there weren't enough third party links. This is despite the fact there's like a dozen pages in Wikipedia about software that is hosted on SourceHut, so it seems notable enough?

      Maybe it helped that they called it a "programming language"? It helps make it sound super serious.

        How could you even type such a ridiculous statement?

Mongo also has a good query language and a mongo DB can be seen as an array of documents
