Jaq – A jq clone focused on correctness, speed, and simplicity
There's also this awesome tool to make JSON interactively navigable in the terminal:

Modern Linux Tools vs. Unix Classics: Which Would I Choose?
Using awk/sed to parse json seems to be using the wrong tool for the job.
As an alternative to jq with easier to remember syntax, see https://fx.wtf/

Neat! You mentioned not getting the hang of jq, have you played with fx?

Show HN: Llama – Terminal File Manager
This looks like something I'd use often. Thanks for creating it! For anyone who's not familiar, Anton is also behind the highly useful fx[0] for wrangling JSON data in the terminal.

Shell Script Best Practices, from a decade of scripting things
Not sure what it is doing more...I'm referring to this rq: https://github.com/dflemstr/rq#format-support-status
It converts to/from the listed formats.
There is also `jc` (written in Python) with the added benefit that it converts output of many common unix utilities to json. So you would not need to parse `ip` for example.

What debugging/monitoring method do you use? Lately, I have been using the Saleae Logic Analyzer to monitor the signals exchanged among the boards of my embedded network. I find it really cool, but do you have any other recommendations? What do you use?
In robotics most relevant signals are seen by the software. My current pattern is to log everything to MessagePack files (e.g. using mpacklog in Python or palimpsest in C++), then dump and plot the data later on using handy command-line tools like jq and rq.

- rq: Universal convertor between structured data (JSON, MessagePack, CBOR, etc.)
- Show HN: utt, the Universal Text Transformer

Miller CLI – Like Awk, sed, cut, join, and sort for CSV, TSV and JSON
There's also rq (record query)[1] that also supports CSV and JSON but not TSV though. It's written in Rust.

What's everyone working on this week (27/2021)?
Ish. https://github.com/dflemstr/rq/ It removed its processing language a while ago. It's still a very useful tool, though. Imho, it's a bigger pity that it can't highlight YAML on output, or parse YAML 1.1.
What are some alternatives?
jless - jless is a command-line JSON viewer designed for reading, exploring, and searching through JSON data.
