I don't know about amazing, but an AWK program builds my website. Don't blame the programming language for the crappy HTML, that's completely my fault. I learned HTML1 and never really progressed, except in dribs-and-drabs.
Still, the code runs and does a pretty good job of executing the algorithm I gave it.
But I wouldn't call it amazing. Most of my AWK is small, few-liners.
I do have a story about learning the power of associative arrays, but that should be a separate post.
