  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • frawk

    an efficient awk-like language

    Regarding speed, I'm keeping an eye on frawk which aims to be faster, has native support for csv, etc.

  • I might as well abuse this thread to shill for my Neovim plugin awk-ward.nvim (GitHub mirror). It lets you edit your Awk script and see the output live as you are typing. I originally wrote it when I was learning Awk because I wanted to get quick feedback, but it has since saved my butt so many times.
