Is rq still a *query* tool? about rq HOT 4 CLOSED

I've been trying to ramp up rq development after a long break due to it being super difficult to maintain the Javascript-based query engine. I have plans to re-add query functionality to the tool, but I'm not 100% sure of what that should look like. Do you have any input? Maybe we could create a discussion "issue" where we try to design the new query language.

Sorry for the delay. I can imagine that maintaining open source projects sometimes takes a lot of time and commitment. And that's a fair point. To me (regarding this issue) it would just suffice to add a noticeable disclaimer at the README so that every new visitor is aware of the current state (and maybe where to find old releases and their documentation).

Regarding the ramp-up: I really like the idea of a cross-format querying tool, but I can also imagine that it will be difficult to find a syntax that fits multiple formats while still being flexible and reasonably easy to use. If you want to go towards that direction, then yes, I think a separate (pinned) issue for discussion would be a good idea. If you want to focus on the transformation functionality instead, I would suggest to choose another name (or migrate the code to a fresh new repository) to avoid confusion.

Did as you suggested, I will close this issue and encourage others to follow up through #208 instead.

rq seemed like a conversion tool after reading the docs, like what I did for https://github.com/pickfire/babelfish
