    It's interesting watching these types of tools get re-invented periodically:

    https://github.com/benbernard/RecordStream

    It shows the unix model of many small, composable tools is very powerful, but also shows that POSIX is missing some essential pieces that everyone keeps trying to add/reinvent.

  • Miller CLI – Like Awk, sed, cut, join, and sort for CSV, TSV and JSON

    I don't know about MillerCLI's portability, but RecordStream (https://github.com/benbernard/RecordStream) is my go to swiss army knife.

    That record/field parsing library would be a tool to handle a broad category of command-line programs. Once the library has broken the input stream into a collection of records and fields, another layer would then turn them into internal representations. The JSON-based RecordStream tools are illustrative here: there are some tools that parse based on a delimiter or a regular expression, some that parse documented generic non-JSON formats like XML, and some that parse application-specific files like tcpdump outputs. In a Lisp world, all of the dedicated stream manipulation tools are redundant, and you avoid parsing and printing at every step in the chain.
