The Awk Programming Language, Second Edition
Ah good to know, thank you! Meanwhile I found it, it was the awk from Debian 10 that lacked `length(array)`, see the related nvm pr [1].
Awk is really great, for those knowing nvm [1], I used awk to make `nvm ls-remote` run more than 10 times faster [2] by replacing the related shell script with around 60 lines of awk script [3], and I was quite happy with the improvement.
It's not really a one-liner, neither something big, but one can take that as an example regarding that awk is really not just for one-liners.
Meanwhile having `--csv` support is really nice. I'd also like to see things like a builtin `length` function to be standard.

installing older versions of node
I use nvs (https://github.com/jasongin/nvs). I'm sure nvm is good too, but I really like the menu you get when you run it without any arguments.. Also nvs has a Windows version, whereas nvm is POSIX OSes only.
