But I have tried to learn jq's syntax (it's pretty much a minilanguage) and it has been incredibly difficult.
I also remember what when I first tried learning regex it was also very difficult. That is until I learned about finite state machines and regular languages, after that CS fundamentals class I was able to make sense of regex in a way that stuck.
Is there a comparable theory for jq's mini-language?
