I appreciate the caveats. Notice I mentioned analytics use cases which is a subset of all the software engineering use cases. CSVs have their place as a simple interchange format. They’ve been overextended to use cases they were never mean to support — I’m speaking out against these. If you’re using CSVs for data work (outside of simple ETL) it a bit like saying let me write a relational database on top of flat text files as a data store. Meanwhile the world has moved on to engines like Postgres. But no I’m going stick with my flat text format.
