Shameless plug, but you might like this: https://github.com/IvanIsCoding/celq

jq is the CLI I like the most, but sometimes even I struggled to understand the queries I wrote in the past. celq uses a more familiar language (CEL)

I had never heard of CEL, looks useful though, thanks for posting this!

CEL looks interesting and useful, though it isn't common nor familiar imo (not for me at least). Quoting from https://github.com/google/cel-spec

    # Common Expression Language

    The Common Expression Language (CEL) implements common
    semantics for expression evaluation, enabling different
    applications to more easily interoperate.

    ## Key Applications

    - Security policy: organizations have complex infrastructure
      and need common tooling to reason about the system as a whole
    - Protocols: expressions are a useful data type and require
      interoperability across programming languages and platforms.
