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?
obj.friends.filter(x=>{ return x.city=='New York'})
.sort((a, b) => a.age - b.age)
.map(item => ({ name: item.name, age: item.age }));
am I missing something?
To your point abstractions often multiply and then hide the complexity, and create a facade of simplicity.
Kudos for all the work, it's a nice language. I find writing parsers a very mind-expanding activity.
Things like https://jsonlogic.com/ works better if you wish to expose a rest api with a defined query schema or something like that. Instead of accepting a query `string`. This seems better as in you have a string format and a concrete JSON format. Also APIs to convert between them.
Also, if you are building a filter interface, having a structured representation helps:
https://react-querybuilder.js.org/demo?outputMode=export&exp...
mapValues(mapKeys(substring(get(), 0, 10)))
This is all too cute. Why not just use JavaScript syntax? You can limit it to the exact amount of functionality you want for whatever reason it is you want to limit it.
Admittedly I don't know that much about LLM optimization/configuration, so apologies if I'm asking dumb questions. Isn't the value of needing to copy/paste that prompt in front of your queries a huge bog on net token efficiency? Like wouldn't you need to do some hundred/thousand query translations just to break even? Maybe I don't understand what you've built.
Cool idea either way!
Helpful when querying JSON API responses that are parsed and persisted for normal, relational uses. Sometimes you want to query data that you weren’t initially parsing or that matches a fix to reprocess.
it might just be a very limited subset?
I implemented one day of advent of code in jq to learn it: https://github.com/ivanjermakov/adventofcode/blob/master/aoc...
