Hi everyone, I'm the author of the package. This is something I had in mind for a while, and the results of the prototype is promising, so I'll keep working on it. My hope is to merge the analysis I do into upstream jq once I'm able to work on a large enough subset, and maybe keep a jq fork with type-hints at some point. I wanted to keep the README brief, so there are more details in the docs.md if you're interested. I'm also happy and excited to answer any questions!

It doesn't seem to be particularly implemented. Better error messages could be cool though.

Hi, the current version is just a prototype, but it's definitely not a one-off demo, it's an analysis focused on a very small subset, and it works on that subset and produces the better error message I mention. The roadmap is in docs.md for now, I'll add more details to the readme once I figure out a nice and brief way to do it.

Too bad they didn't include a license with that repo
