Tsonnet #1 - JSON literals
Disclaimer: it's worth noting that ocamllex is not unicode friendly. I want Tsonnet to support unicode, but I'm postponing this complexity for later. Perhaps using the sedlex package for that.

query-json: A story of cross-compilation with Reason
Started with the goal to create something useful and learn during the process. Was very interested in learning about how to write parsers and compilers using the OCaml stack: menhir and sedlex, compile it to any architecture and try to compile it to JavaScript.

Gojq: Pure Go Implementation of Jq
It's very possible it could be faster; jq seems to actually be fairly unoptimized. This implementation in OCaml was featured on HN a while back and it trashes the original jq in performance: https://github.com/davesnx/query-json
After seeing that one I did my own (less-complete) version in Rust and managed to squeeze out even more performance: https://github.com/brundonsmith/jqr
