Er, it's a world all of us live in. Say, for example, ‘ps’ or ‘ls -1l’.

Then you end up using awk, which is rather like a half-assed version of powershell to work around shortcomings with the unix everything-is-a-string design.

AWK isn't a workaround. It's a tool for processing tabular data, in a textual format. The fact that it can solve so many problems is actually a strength of the EIAS design.

Parent comment was talking about parsing the raw output from a database in stdout. That's what I was responding to, and I'm not wrong.
