This was a great read, and the previous post in the series. I see a lot of very convincing arguments here (https://maximullaris.com/awk.html#why https://maximullaris.com/awk.html#why) but for me one of the biggest points in favour of python (and I say this is someone who, for learning, will always just reach for C++ because of my muscle memory) is its eminent readability. If I'm writing a script, quite a lot of the time, it's meant not just for myself but for my peers to use with some degree of regularity. I feel pretty confident that there would be much more operational overhead and a lot of time spent explaining internals with awk than with python.
