Aho – a Git implementation in Awk

I'm pretty sure people have read more perl code than awk code, so they'll roll their eyes but will be able to cover for perl-required tasks, but won't build up the courage to touch the awk.

To me, hell is having to debug perl scripts other people wrote. Based on experiences in the 1998 time frame.

took a contract job where I was writing a thing in perl to connect a billion dollar collection of ecommerce sites to facebook ads in 2019.

Hell is having to debug perl scripts you wrote yourself long enough ago that you've forgotten and the developers of the packages you depend on have literally died of old age.

Because you have only yourself to blame.
