I was aware of the json parser and it did put me off the naming. Unfortunately jq is the most obvious name. For example there is jruby/jython. Longer term when a stable version is reached I would like to change to it's own name as eventually the goal is to extend the current q language. jq++, jq# :)

Any suggestions?




Another potential source of confusion is that J is also a well-known APL-derived array language. So it's not obvious that J here refers to Java.

I don't have any good suggestions. "Jaq"?
