I see your point, but I view it through a different lens. In painting, the mastery of 'blank space' (negative space) is as vital as the brushstrokes themselves. For a project like OpenBSD, the discipline to not implement a feature—unless it can be done perfectly and securely—is a rare form of restraint. In an industry obsessed with feature bloat, this 'lack' isn't a deficiency; it’s an aesthetic and philosophical statement.
Re:Why are you (still) using OpenBSD?

I tried using OpenBSD, but the support for some specific things isn't very good. For example, J language support is always missing some packages. I also don't want to, and very much do not want to, use systemd. I finally chose FreeBSD, but I'm using some things from OpenBSD as much as possible, like obhttpd, etc. It feels good now.

Show HN: Csvqsh – SQL-like query language for CSV in Awk
https://github.com/secwang/csvqsh
I really like csvq, but its implemented features feel a bit heavy for me. I don't really need to perform statistics directly on CSV files, but simple modifications are what I need. Plus, I don't have a Go environment, so I created a simple awk version. All test cases are included in the except script.
