How would you pronounce `jaq` other than `Jaques`[1]? It seems to be the default pronunciation.

#32Somewhat off-topic, but is there a tool which integrates something like this/jq/fx and API requests? I’d like to be able to do some ETL-like operations and join JSON responses declaratively, without having to write a script.
Is there anything out there like "SELECT * FROM "http://..."?

Have you tried `gron`? It converts your nested json into a line by line format which plays better with tools like `grep` From the project's README: ▶ gron " https://api.github.com/repos/tomnomnom/gron/commits?per_page... " | fgrep "commit.author" json[0].commit.author = {}; json[0].commit.author.date = "2016-07-02T10:51:21Z"; json[0].commit.author.email = "mail@tomnomnom.com"; json[0].commit.author.name = "Tom Hudson…
Thank you so much. This seems like a saner approach for some simpler use cases. It flattens the structure. And makes for easy diffing.
There's also this awesome tool to make JSON interactively navigable in the terminal:

I think in this case it's for the completely reasonable reason that he wanted to write it in Rust and asking jq to rewrite their whole project in rust would be obnoxious.

What would be your choice if you would need to write high performing CLI tool?
I think it's more the hand-in-handedness that seems to exist between "rewrite an existing, mature tool" and doing it in Rust. Half the time it's hard for me to know which caused which — the need for the tool, or the desire to rewrite something in Rust.

The other options are C, C++, Go, and maybe Ada or Zig, though I haven't seen many CLI tools written in those two in practice. In practice, it seems like Go, Rust, and C++ are the preferred languages for newer CLI tools, although I have no data; my conclusion is based on my general perception. Older ones, C and Perl.

#38I guess it's cute that there's some terminal line art library in Rust somewhere, but when I tried to invoke jaq it just pooped megabytes of escape codes into my iTerm and eventually iTerm tried to print to the printer. Too clever.
I tried to do `echo *json | rush -- jaq -rf ./this-program.jq {} | datamash ...` and in that context I don't think it's appropriate to try to get artistic with the tty.
The cause of the errors, for whatever it's worth, is that `jaq` lacks `strftime`.

My first instinct was to pronounce jaq as "jack".
Did you watch the video? That's exactly how "Jaques" is pronounced. It's French: you ignore everything but the non-s-consonants and the first vowel.
