This repository presents itself as "a high-performance implementation of jq in Golang". This is misleading in two ways: first, because jq is a full language, not a few set of JSON filters, this repository does not come even close to reaching 1% of that; second, because jq is a full language, not a few set of JSON filters, it's probably easy to do a a few set of JSON filters and be faster than it, but it will be much harder to be faster if you do try to turn this into a full language like jq.

It was probably not ever the intention of the author to do a jq implementation here, but it is still getting stars from visitors and wasting the time of people who believe the repository description claims and try to verify them or -- God forbid -- use it.
Please, @savaki, retake your honesty: rename this repo to something like "JSON-filters" and change its description to better reflect what it does.
