- abecedarius 3y agoCool news -- I liked the first edition a lot back in the 90s.
- pmarreck 3y agoI've heard of Awk for years and (probably like many) only used it for single-line snippets for the vast majority of that time. Imagine my surprise when I just decided to look into it one day (after finding slightly more complex Awk scripts that did a lot with very little code which piqued my curiosity) and finding this very nice line-oriented DSL that has aged SHOCKINGLY well given how old it is. I just wish it had interrupt handling of some sort without running a custom fork/patched version
