XSV: A fast CSV command-line toolkit written in Rust

For basic load/munge/save stuff (like CSV processing) the C standard library more than suffices, and is cross-platform. You don't need OS-dependent stuff (like POSIX) to do that.

(I'm not arguing C vs. Rust though... just pointing out that "cross-platform" is a much more meaningful descriptor for a CLI tool than "in Rust". The latter just reads like noise to me.)

Do you know of any libraries in C that give me an easy way to manipulate tabular data by columns, like pandas does?

There is miller. But it's a CLI tool, not s library. Maybe it comes bundled with a library?

What does that have to do with "lower level OS-dependent APIs"?

Nothing, honestly. I was just looking to learn if there was a tool in C that could let me be just as productive as Pandas.
