Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

jq 1.7 Released
I really like jq, but I think there is at least one nice alternative to it: jet [1].
It is also a single executable, written in clojure and fast. Among other niceties, you don't have to learn any DSL in this case -- at least not if you already know clojure!

Jq Internals: Backtracking
Since starting to use jet, I haven't found anything jq could do that jet couldn't also do but with the additional feature of actually being able to read what I've done with it days later.

GraalVM 22.1: Developer experience improvements, Apple Silicon builds, and more
Examples of Clojure projects that compile to native:
- babashka (https://github.com/babashka/babashka)
- clj-kondo (https://github.com/clj-kondo/clj-kondo)
- jet (https://github.com/borkdude/jet)
SCI is a Clojure interpreter that allows you to evaluate Clojure code even inside of the final native binary and is used in all of the above projects.
Feel free to bug me with questions in the graalvm channel on Clojurians Slack.

Zq: An Easier (and Faster) Alternative to Jq
For me, transforming JSON on the command line was a pain, another DSL to learn. Now, I can just use Babashka/ Clojure + one or two functions from Cheshire https://github.com/dakrone/cheshire where I need to. If I needed a standalone tool, I would perhaps reach for https://github.com/borkdude/jet by the same author, Michiel Borkent, as Babashka or use jq that everybody else would find more familiar.

Extracting Objects Recursively with Jq
jq is nice, but the moment i need anything more complex than "pull this attribute out of bunch of objects" i vastly prefer spinning up an actual language runtime. or use a tool built around a language (e.g. https://github.com/borkdude/jet) rather than a language built around a tool.

Exploring Nushell, a Rust-powered, cross-platform shell
The first method is through downloading the pre-built binaries. With this method, you don't need to install anything other than Nushell's dependencies. Once you've downloaded the binaries, add them to your system's environment path to run it directly in your terminal.

PowerShell: The object-oriented shell you didn't know you needed
I rather nushell for this purpose, it's more fun to write and easier to read.

NuShell - Ceci n'est pas une |
These are just three small examples of what this shell written in Rust allows. The features are many and many more, but I'll leave it up to you to discover and enjoy them; I'm currently playing around with it and it's giving me a lot of satisfaction and immediacy, now it has a fixed place among the tools I use when working! The project is Open Source, so if you want to contribute, I invite you, as always, to do so, I leave you the link to the repo here!

Fish shell 3.7.0: last release branch before the full Rust rewrite
Any thoughts on fish as compared to nushell [0]? It's similar to PowerShell in its philosophy and is also written in Rust.

jc: Converts the output of popular command-line tools to JSON
> In PowerShell, structured output is the default and it seems to work very well.
PowerShell goes a step beyond JSON, by supporting actual mutable objects. So instead of just passing through structured data, you effectively pass around opaque objects that allow you to go back to earlier pipeline stages, and invoke methods, if I understand correctly: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsof....
I'm rather fond of wrappers like jc and libxo, and experimental shells like https://www.nushell.sh/. These still focus on passing data, not objects with executable methods. On some level, I find this comfortable: Structured data still feels pretty Unix-like, if that makes sense? If I want actual objects, then it's probably time to fire up Python or Ruby.
Knowing when to switch from a shell script to a full-fledged programming language is important, even if your shell is basically awesome and has good programming features.

jq 1.7 Released
Yeah agreed, especially now that PowerShell is available cross-platform.
Nushell[1] also seems like a promising alternative, but I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet.

The Case for Nushell
I also discovered an existing discussion[1] related to this topic which includes a link[2] to a "helper to call nushell nuon/json/yaml commands from bash/fish/zsh" and a comment[3] that the current nushell dev focus is "on getting the experience inside nushell right and [we] probably won't be able to dedicate design time to get the interface of native Nu commands with an outside POSIX shell right and stable.".
