A couple of years ago I found Perl was fastest at processing Wikipedia dumps.
It also didn't require having a JVM preloaded to make startup times acceptable during development (naming no other tools).
I do use shell tools to process data, a lot. They're particularly good for exploratory programming and initial analysis of new datasets.
- Steeeve 10y agocut, awk, grep, and perl can churn through an initial data dump like nobody's business.
