But awk is written in C, which is not memory safe … so it could randomly segfault at any moment, wipe out your hard drive, knock over your chair, and set fire to the bookshelf all at the same time. Scary AF !
That's not true a memory fault will never lead to a harddrive wipe and I mean after 40 years it is robust. Besides it's rather trivial to do memory safe because it's a stram processor.
@@CallousCoder sorry mate .. was having an oblique dig at the more fearful types out there who say you can only use rust, because anything else might randomly segfault:)

@@CallousCoder I'm actually more interested in embedded zig. I'm trying to do an arduino project with led lights. Zig on an arduino uno would be my video request. I got the test light blinking yesterday. Need to figure out the led part now. Might try to use predefined c funcs. From arduino libs.

He means it hyperbolically. It takes longer to write a program in a general purpose language for sure -- especially when you use awk frequently. In my case I would probably spend as much time getting it done in awk :D His video is btw really good.

Or you could write it in 5 minutes in Python.
Or do it in vim in less than a minute. The next video 😉
But I would probably have don’t if in Python. And I loathe Python ☺️

canada can't make up mind either. we have a mind boggling mix of both metric and US-imperial systems.

Why force vscode into your vids? Just use vim. Lol.
Sounds like you use vim usually.
Good vid btw

And now just do it in Vim and be done in 2 minutes ;-)
Well my typing disability is also pervasive in vim but I would be a bit faster for sure :D

@@timibolu thanks glad you enjoyed it.
Still easier to write and use than awk
I tend to think so too 😜
