- t-3 3y agoAre people actually typing up *SV files by hand? It's trivial to support editing in an IDE and exporting from data-producing applications.
- andyferris 3y agoYes, sometimes, of course. It's a bit like JSON. Sometimes it's easiest to inject a small piece of hand-written data into a test or whatever. (That said every text editor since ever should have had a "table mode" that uses the ASCII field/record seperators (or whatever you choose), I was always confused why this isn't common. Maybe vim and emacs do?)
