I find it amusing that AWK is coming back. I used it extensively back on the day, but let it go when I picked up Perl 4 and then Perl 5. So Perl is no longer king for unix scripting. It was replaced by other languages; but it seems like there is a niche that they were not able to fill since AWK is back.
