Alternatives
------------

- catj - pretty much the same thing - https://github.com/soheilpro/catj/blob/master/catj.js - Node/NPM
- tabbyj - also similar - https://github.com/nint8835/tabbyj - Python
- gron - much more features, such as going _backwards_ given the output of itself, which is quite neat - https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron - Go

initially inspired by [catj](https://github.com/soheilpro/catj), but without dependencies on node/npm
