David attenborough awk

00:53 < Gallefray^> <attenbourough_voice> And, here we have the awk script
00:53 < Gallefray^> look at its beutiful kludge of code
00:53 < Gallefray^> look at the form of it
00:53 < ReactorScram> Its sumptuous curves
00:54 < Gallefray^> it has developed this print lines over a time period of around 80 cups of coffee
00:54 < Gallefray^> *these
00:55 < Gallefray^> In, comparison, a newly formed perl script, with a print function of over 80 characters, can form over a time period of merely 20 cups of coffee
00:56 < Gallefray^> You would imagine, that, this gives the perl script an advantage
00:56 < Gallefray^> However, if one looks closely, you can clearly see there are no comments in the average awk script
00:57 < Gallefray^> this, uh, indicates that this awk script has recently been fed by an old fart
00:57 < Gallefray^> (not an insult)
00:58 < Gallefray^> yes, the awk bird manages to continue to thrive of of the, uh, older, programmers,
00:58 < Gallefray^> However, the average perl script is also at disadvantage
00:59 < Gallefray^> look closely at the header
00:59 < Gallefray^> see the form of it, the beauty
00:59 < Gallefray^> however, this particular script, and most perl scripts in general, require the careful, delicate user, to provide a blood sacrifice
01:00 < Gallefray^> Yes, do not be decieved
