awk is so beautiful. A good awk one-liner can beat fancy pandas all day long in some cases.

I hate how awk gets so much praise for one liners when it's so good at building things like state machines too: https://two-wrongs.com/awk-state-machine-parser-pattern.html

I've got some similar ones for work that take data csv like data and output sql. A little bit of vim-foo on the csv (yy10000p) and I've got all the test data I need.

If anything, awk should get some praise for it's flexibility to go from one liners to Doom-style 3d games[1]!

An example here would be nice.
