Awk is kinda my new favorite scripting language. I've been using it for the master's thesis I'm writing and am amazed at how quickly I can script in it. And how easy it was to learn. From the beginning out results-visualisation pipeline of awk+gnuplot was just supposed to be a quick hack to get something we could look at but it has kept up the whole thesis through and just been extended and made better instead of switching. We still use python when we need some lib help to get some data right but damn it goes quick to handle well structured data with awk. Sad I didn't learn it earlier.
