I would love to have a scripting language has typed features and you can replace bash with.

What comes close is:

    #! /usr/bin/env elixir

    Mix.install([:jason])

    defmodule JsonPrettyPrinter do
      def get_stdin_data do
        :stdio
        |> IO.read(:all)
        |> Jason.decode()
        |> case do
          {:ok, json_data} -> json_data
          _ -> raise "Invalid JSON payload was provided"
       end
     end
    end

    JsonPrettyPrinter.get_stdin_data()
    |> JsonPrettyPrinter.pretty_print_json()
    |> IO.puts()
