Yep.

You wouldnt use json path as replacement to any language. It might be marginally useful in configurations or passing queries between different services. But the complex syntax limits it in both cases, because you cannot easily automatically modify the query. In the case of configs it would be great to analyze hundreds of configs on different systems and change them automaticaly, same with queries exchanged between services which might even get stored in a database.

I do not understand why domain languages aren't designed with limited syntax in mind. In the style of lisp for instance. Because actually being able to programatically work with the language is a massive advantage that imo far outweights your own frustration with typing a paranthesis or two extra.
