For what task? I do not use a hammer when I need to tighten bolts, but when I need to drive nails I use a hammer. ("Use the right tool for the job at hand.")

- Aerbil313 3y agoI clarified the submission, yet let me specify a task: CLI tools to fetch, store and manipulate textual data and files. Maybe very simple GUIs.

It is designed for concise text manipulation and it is very easy to be productive with a minimal amount of code: https://opensource.com/article/22/2/text-based-code-perl https://opensource.com/article/22/2/text-based-code-perl
