On: Show HN: jql – Easier jq Alternative with a Lispy Syntax Written in Go

[useragent86]

Regarding CPS: I think that expecting users to write queries in CPS is going to be very limiting. It's missing a big opportunity to use simple funcall and/or pipeline syntax, with which many more users are familiar. Even among Lispers, CPS isn't that popular. But Lisp, in general, could make jq-like syntax much more regular and usable.

I find it gets intuitive without being familiar with CPS (I wasn't before).

In practice, thanks to this, the resulting queries end up matching the input JSON structure very well.
