nvim-jqx VS nsd

nvim-jqx is your neovim interface to json and yaml files1: in the last release I have fixed a few bugs introduced by the latest changes in `yq` grammar and have added treesitter syntax highlight to the floating buffer (invoked when querying the json or yaml keys, why I had not done it before already is beyond my memory :p):

browse json files content (nvim-jqx)

As far as I know there is no other plugin at the moment that interfaces neovim with json files, and more often than not we see questions here where people suggest to reformat json files via python or some other :%!. Well, with jqx you have it all in one place, so you may find it useful: have a look at the repository and feel free to open up issues with improvements or suggestions!

Have you tried nvim-jqx?

By the way, nvim-jqx can come to your rescue.

...or you can use nvim-jqx (neovim only though) :p

P. S. If you are using neovim nvim-jqx is a jq wrapper that populates entries in the quickfix window. Spoiler alert: I am the author (so in this case you can shoot the messenger :p)!

Potentially related: nvim-jqx wraps around yq to populate the quickfix window with yaml keys, moreover supporting (limited) queries with autocompletion.

> there isn't really an entry point in murex scripts

I have a nice trick in NGS for that. Under the idea that "small scripts should not suffer", script is running top to bottom without "entry point". However, if the script has defined main() function, it is invoked (with command line arguments passed).

> `args` still contains more boilerplate code than I'm happy with

Is there anything preventing you to have exactly the same functionality but with syntactic sugar that it looks like parameters declaration? (Just to be clear, keeping all the ARGV machinery).

Something like (assuming local variables are supported; if not, it could still be $args[Flags] etc):

  function hippo(name:str, hungry:bool) {

Doing DevOps today? 99% either abuse bash or abuse a general purpose programming language.

bash does not meet any modern expectations from a programming language: syntax, error handling, data structures

General purpose languages such as Python, Ruby, etc are not domain specific enough to have the desired facilities.

Here is small example of straightforward solution to a small problem: list all CloudFormation stacks that are managed by the given CodePipeline.
