Frawk: A fast, JITted, statically-typed AWK written in Rust
One of my recent project requires a fast awk implementation, and I tried frawk and got surprised by how robust it is. Although eventually we chose https://github.com/noyesno/awka for better native awk script compatibility, it's still wonderful to see a project incorporating recent advances of programming language implementation into the ancient awk.

awkcc: awk-to-C transcompiler (1988, 2011)
Interested parties should also check out awka (https://github.com/noyesno/awka) and ELVM (which can compile C into awk or sed, among various other things) (https://github.com/shinh/elvm)

Big list of ASCII games you can play in the terminal
And since you can actually convert awk to C, that means that sed can actually do anything awk can.

A Git Implementation in Awk
ok, I found https://github.com/noyesno/awka so it is possible, though it uses it's own lib to link against - I don't know how much of that is based on AWK C vs original code.

Anyone else doing compiler work in Golang?
Another nice project that I have used from time to time (and a very good source for insight) is the awk interpreter written in go https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk

Tool to interact with CSV
No, I want exactly the opposite - it should be a , b,c as a single string field containing a literal comma, and c. For example, https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk has csv support. https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk/blob/master/docs/csv.md - more info.

Why does awk parse '1&&x=1' as '1&&(x=1)' not '(1&&x)=1' when '&&' is high precedence than '='?
I've had a go at solving this in this PR -- feedback welcome. I don't love it, but oh well, it solves the problem at hand. Your comment pointed me in the right direction, thanks again.

Looking for programming languages created with Go
There are quite a few re-implementations of scripting languages like Lua in Go. I've written an AWK interpreter in Go.

Oracle DB support in Benthos
github.com/benhoyt/goawk -> this library lets you embed an AWK runtime in your applications, very easy to use and useful for enabling some powerful scripting in things you build

Brian Kernighan adds Unicode support to Awk (May, 2022)
Yes, that's right. With my simplistic UTF-8-based implementation it turned length() -- for example -- from O(1) to O(N), turning O(N) algorithms which use length() into O(N^2). See this issue: https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk/issues/93
Similar with substr() and other string functions, which when operating as bytes are O(1), but become O(N) when trying to count the number of codepoints as UTF-8.
GNU Gawk has a fancier approach, which stores strings as UTF-8 as long as it can, but converts to UTF-32 if it needs to (eg: the string is non-ASCII and you call substr).
It looks like Brian Kernighan's code has the same issue with length() and substr(). I'm going to try to email him about this, as I think it's kind of a performance blocker.

Ask HN: Is having a Personal blog/brand worth it for you?
I'm not sure if it was via my personal website or just my GitHub profile, but I got my current job at Canonical due to the CTO there reaching out about my GoAWK project (https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk). I get regular recruitment emails because I have my CV/resume online: most of them are very low-effort, but 1 in 20 or something are interesting emails where the recruiter has actually looked at my website and will tailor it personally. I also just enjoy technical writing, and get joy out of sharing it on HN. So it's "worth it" for me.
What are some alternatives?
frawk - an efficient awk-like language
bytehound - A memory profiler for Linux.
Lua-RTOS-ESP32 - Lua RTOS for ESP32
tsv-utils - eBay's TSV Utilities: Command line tools for large, tabular data files. Filtering, statistics, sampling, joins and more.
tinyscheme - TinyScheme is easy to learn and modify. It is structured like a meta-interpreter, only it is written in C.
intellij-awk - The missing IntelliJ IDEA language support plugin for AWK
ecl
tumblelog - A static tumblelog generator available as both a Perl and Python version
abuse - Abuse (1995) by Crack dot Com
awk - One true awk
bashcc - C compiler written in Bash script
