I really want something like a powershell for Unix, but still somewhat
similar to the typical Unix shell, and with JSON as the object
representation (since that will play best with existing tools, the
environment, and command-line arguments).  Ideally i'd want something like
jq (https://stedolan.github.io/jq -- something of an awesome JSON query
language as an inspiration for such a shell.

Full disclosure: I am a contributor to and maintainer of jq, but biased as
I am by this, I think one can objectively say that Stephen Dolan did an
awesome job.
