  • bu

    B)asic|But-For U)tility Code/Programs (in Nim & Often Unix/POSIX/Linux Context)

  • Of possible interest - instead of making a whole new programming language like awk, you can also just systematize generating code for an existing one with a command-line harness.

    This can even stay terse & keep a fairly fast edit-test turnaround in a fully statically typed language like Nim: https://github.com/c-blake/bu/blob/main/doc/rp.md

  • diff2html

    A script that employs awk and bash to html output of diff between 2 files quickly* (by berry-thawson)

  • confession: plug

    I once wrote a diff2html script ported from bash and it was much, much faster (for obvious reasons). And awk makes it much more readable than bash script. And I could learn the language, debug, understand bugs and fix them in a night.
