gawk or Perl (2)

Netnews


議論が面白い方向に進んでいますが、

Perl ist more powerful than gawk,
as Java is more powerful than gawk,
more libraries and more system interfaces.

  1. the one or other hybrid object oriented

construct. Perl and gawk are typefree though.

と言った上で、以下のようなものを示しています。

Easier said than done->Doing as easy as saying->Easier done than said
---------------------||-----------------------||---------------------
JAVA                 -> Perl                  ->GAWK

どうでもいいのですが、

The one or other might remember the Pop Group
Shakatak with there famous song 'Easier said than done'
If they had known AWK, they'd given the group
the name ShakaTAWK and 'd sung 'Easier done than said'

だそうで、要するに「awk なら説明するよりも作った方が早いぜ」という感じでしょうか。
ちなみに、この Shakatak の "Easier said than done" は以下から見られます。
