jq 1.7 Released
jq and miller[1] are essential parts of my toolbelt, right up there with awk and vim.

Perl first commit: a “replacement” for Awk and sed
> This works really well if your problem can be solved in one or two liners.
My personal comfort threshold is around the 100-line mark. It's even possible to write maintainable shell scripts up to 500 lines, but it mostly depends on the problem you're trying to solve, and the discipline of the programmer to follow best practices (use sane defaults, ShellCheck, etc.).
> It go bad very quickly when, say, you have two CSV files and want to join them the sql-way.
In that case we're talking about structured data, and, yeah, Perl or Python would be easier to work with. That said, depending on the complexity of the CSV, you can still go a long way with plain Bash with IFS/read(1) or tr(1) to split CSV columns. This wouldn't be very robust, but there are tools that handle CSV specifically[1], which can be composed in a shell script just fine.
So it's always a balancing act of being productive quickly with a shell script, or reaching out for a programming language once the tools aren't a good fit, or maintenance becomes an issue.

GQL: A new SQL like query language for .git files written in Rust
That said, you may be interested in Miller (https://github.com/johnkerl/miller) which provides similar capabilities for CSV, JSON, and XML files. It doesn't use a SQL grammar, but that's just the proverbial lipstick on the thing. I'm not the author, but I have used it and I see some parallels in use cases at the very least.

Any cli utility to create ascii/org mode tables?
worth giving Miller a shot

I wrote this iCalendar (.ics) command-line utility to turn common calendar exports into more broadly compatible CSV files.

Tool to interact with CSV

Show HN: Comma Separated Values (CSV) to Unicode Separated Values (USV)
CSV is great because excel can import it, but it can't import USV, so at that point, why use USV when you can use JSON?

Analyzing multi-gigabyte JSON files locally
> Also note that this approach generalizes to other text-based formats. If you have 10 gigabyte of CSV, you can use Miller for processing. For binary formats, you could use fq if you can find a workable record separator.
You can also generalize it without learning a new minilanguage by using https://github.com/tyleradams/json-toolkit which converts csv/binary/whatever to/from json

Show HN: Angle Grinder – A terminal app to slice, dice, and aggregate your logs
I really like this tool, but I'm not sure what it gets me more than jq (and https://github.com/tyleradams/json-toolkit to convert non-json to json).
What can angle grinder do better than jq?
