User testimonials

Open 01mf02 opened this issue 2 months ago • 4 comments

I'm would like to put a little "User testimonies" section in the jaq README. I have three particular testimonies in mind:

My Rust program [using jaq] can execute all queries over all files three times while Python is busy executing one query across all files using the jq pypi crate and a Python loop.

I'm glad you like wsjq :). It was fun to make and I still use it whenever I need to debug a Whitespace program. Now that jaq works with it, it's so much faster. Great work on jaq! [On wsjq benchmarks, jaq is between 5 and 10 times faster than jq and between 15 and 196 times faster than gojq.]

What an excellent library jaq is.

Would you, @I-Al-Istannen, @thaliaarchi, and @jobarr-amzn, allow me to put your respective testimonies into the README?

Sure 🐞 (And to nitpick: Testimony might be somewhat fitting, Testimonial is the better term though :)

Definitely! jaq is a well-built library that gave me a massive leg up compared to implementing jq support on my own. Extensibility through the ValT trait made adding jq support to my own types a breeze.

Yeah, sure! And feel free to paraphrase or use the following too:

jaq is very impressive! Running my wsjq interpreter with it is significantly faster than with any other jq implementation and its emphasis on correctness is very admirable.

Thanks a lot to you all! I'll then include your testimonials (thanks for improving my English, @I-Al-Istannen ^^). I'll leave this issue open in case other people also wish to add their testimonials.
