The problem of libraries is namespaces, since everything is global its not worth it. and also incredibly problematic (especially since match() actually sets a 2 globals) fortunately gawk offers namespaces, it even has a flag for loading libraries from a path { gawk -i inplace } has replaced sed -i for me a couple of times. But yeah, its still lacking. PS: This is gawk only though, but awk -f $awkmodules/mymodule.awk -f <(echo '') is an ok replacement, even though its just concatenating files
