   RP @clacke: @jakob There are definitely languages that *should* only be used for trivial tasks. But then you give them to humans and you get web application servers written in awk.

         @lnxw48a1 Wow, there's a lot of context missing on federati side.

      @lnxw48a1 Why was that a textual repost?

            @lnxw48a1 Ah, you're using Choqok. ISTR its GS support is not very well done. When I tried it, it didn't understand that posts could go beyond 140 chars.

               @clacke True. It hasn't been updated for the post #bifurcation fediverse, where larger character limits are the norm instead of the exception (and where some instances use #Markdown or #Textile to enable formatted posts).

         @bobjonkman @lnxw48a1 It's ok. I've written enterprise integration with awk and *clears his throat* .BAT files.

         @bobjonkman For the excedingly little I know how to do with it, I like #awk. I always say I'm going to explore more of it, but working in a Windows-centric world limits that.
