Great read. I always find these turn a feature of a computer into a database an interesting read/idea. It certainly has upside, and downsides. For example having an entire filesystem as a sqlite database etc, or in this case an executable. It would be nice to have a structured way of talking to our utilities, rather than interpreting various commands as json through a few layers of tools to then get the output in a common format. That said I'd probably rather have a split up tool-set, than everything having to be in a single database for it to interoperate.
