Got it. Even so I still prefer to learn only unix and go with it, most of the time awk solves all my data problems
About your transformation problems, give a look at NuShell[1], it's a full fledged shell but I rarely use it as a interactive shell, mostly as a scripting language, it heavily simplifies the extract, transform and load from the terminal. Also it's written in Rust and available to most mainstream OSes
I had a pile of somewhat complex text transformations I needed to perform, and was getting headaches just contemplating the hodge-podge of cat and grep and find and awk and sed and regex and stackoverflow and kilometers of pipes I would be getting into, not being much of a wizard with such things, so went looking for something a bit less daunting. Found this, and within in an hour had a working script which I am fairly certain I will also be able to read and understand a year from now.
