Thanks for the feedback and that's an interesting suggestion. The biggest hindrance to that is that murex has builtin support for structured data types which would mean any transpiled code might then depend on non-standard tools like `jq`. But it's an interesting enough problem that I might have a play if just out of academic curiosity.

I've created a Github issue so the suggestion doesn't get forgotten: https://github.com/lmorg/murex/issues/281
