AWK is the most powerful scripting language in the world.
It's saner than shell scripts. It doesn't change a lot. You don't need more.
Luke Carter
99% of awk scripts are invoked from shell scripts

How do I connect to a database with awk
How do I make http requests with awk

You shouldn't. The scripting language with the most sane syntax is forth. It's fast, easy to parse and easy to extent.

why should I speak in English and not any other language with sane syntax?
Anthony Green
the word "sane" is ableist and offensive. Please instead use "clear and complete" or "coherent"

Depreceated by Python.
Even kerninghan, the K in AWK, says he would use Python for data transformation.
Carter Morgan
shut the fuck up NPC faggot
Zachary Bennett
it was already deprecated by Perl long before Python became a thing (I know Python is about as much old)
Justin Roberts
user, that is a bot you are talking to.

Robert Mitchell
Even Kernighan uses Python except for simple tasks. So AWK is probably worse.

It's great isn't it? Those fuckers actually added networking to awk! Why does that exist? Nobody knows.

Yeah, one wonders where they want to go with this. Better ways to waste your time.
Carter Gutierrez
It is just the way of things. I'm not a hipster, and so would rather use the best tools for the job.
It's the same thing with Rust and C++. Trannies are awful but that doesn't mean Rust itself is a bad language.
