I used to know someone who worked for a hugeco with really ancient proprietary unix systems. He wrote huge, complicated things in awk.

I think the experience did things to him, but he was the guy to go to for awk questions.

Google's perforce client wrapper was thousands of lines of bash for a long time. It was both amazing and terrible. It stood up to thousands of engineers and was easy to customize, if youbwerw good in bash. Fun times...
