I'm pretty sure people have read more perl code than awk code, so they'll roll their eyes but will be able to cover for perl-required tasks, but won't build up the courage to touch the awk.

- dleink 3y agotook a contract job where I was writing a thing in perl to connect a billion dollar collection of ecommerce sites to facebook ads in 2019.
