I wonder whether it would be useful to develop a set of json unix-like shell-like utilities, e.g. jls, jcp. I can't find anything like this available. Perhaps you could do something like "jls *.ls | jselect size" to print out the sizes of *.ls. Perhaps it would make a useful halfway house between python/perl and shell scripting.

I actually really do think this would be handy. You could have something like jsort, juniq, jcat, etc. Also you would want something kind of like xquery that could pull an element(s) out of a JSON object.
It might make it possible to do some interesting and readable one-liners.

There was a project like that actually:

TermKit is (was?) an extremely ambitious project basically involving a redesign from scratch of the whole terminal system. It seems like they wanted it to be GUI-based and mostly coded in HTML5.
What I am thinking of is just a set of utilities to manipulate JSON easily-- nothing more, nothing less.
