Fselect: Find files with SQL-like queries
I just want to say this is really cool.<p>Honestly I'd love to see SQL (or something like it) become a first-class citizen in operating systems generally -- as a standard way for manipulating files, logs, preference files, etc.<p>To be clear: <i>not</i> turning things into databases (keep logs as logs), but make everything interpretable to SQL.<p>It's bizarre to me that in just a few lines I can achieve magic with a database... but I can't trivially do the same magic with my filesystem.<p>Just like a shell is an integral part of an OS... shouldn't a query language be too? I'd love it if, out-of-the-box, Linux distributions came with a standardized SQL+JSON-over-the-filesystem approach that functioned as a small-scale working database for any tool that wanted to use it as such.
