And there is also Nushell and similar projects. Nushell has a concept with the same purpose as jc where you can install Nushell frontend functions for familiar commands such that the frontends parse output into a structured format, and you also get Nushell auto-completions as part of the package. Some of those frontends are included by default.
As an example if you run
psyou get output as a Nushell table where you can select columns, filter rows, etc. Or you can run^psto bypass the Nushell frontend and get the old output format.Of course the trade-off is that Nushell wants to be your whole shell while jc drops into an existing shell.
