jq is amazing (not only for querying json), I recommend going though the docs, it's fairly small.
I implemented one day of advent of code in jq to learn it: https://github.com/ivanjermakov/adventofcode/blob/master/aoc...
I like the power of `jq` and the fact that LLMs are proficient at it, but I find it right out impossible to come up with the right `jq` incantations myself. Has anyone here been in a similar situation? Which tool / language did you end up exposing to your users?
