awk VS Advent-of-code

Awk now supports a `--csv` flag for processing csv's. https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk/blob/master/README.md

Right, "the one true awk" corresponds to a book written in 1988, very explicity. https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk

You were the one that that said POSIX awk to begin with, I was using your terms.

As far as shitting on the GMU tools, I don't think I've seen someone do that for over 20 years.

This is not a productive conversation. You can live life however you want

I also wrote a small program to benchmark and check the solutions across different Awk implementations (see the image). I use the macos system awk (which is pretty close to https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk if I'm not mistaken) as a reference (the first column), so all solutions had to work with that.

A simpler Yacc grammar is awk/awkgram.y.

Neat, this is now the third year I'm using awk and still learning new tricks. (I'm using awk as the reference, so I don't use gnu extensions.)

I did this in nawk, which doesn't support extended regular expressions. If instead you're using gawk, which does, check out \b for word boundaries in extended regular expressions. The [^a-z][a-z] approach you showed consumes the prior character.

This is dumb as fuck. Brian Kernighan of K&R (The C Programming Language) is 80 and he’s still more intelligent than any of you retards. Mf just submitted a patch to awk a couple months ago https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk

The Unicode branch: https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk/tree/unicode-support

Wow, almost identical to mine: https://github.com/MichalMarsalek/Advent-of-code/blob/master/2022/Nim/day6.nim

This year I was writing two sets of solutions in Nim. The first one focuses on idiomatic, nice and short and readable Nim. The other focuses purely on speed. The combined running times of the fast solutions is 130 ms. Please let me know if you have any tips on how to make my solutions more simple and/or idiomatic.

Beautiful Nim! My solution is actually very similar.
