Re: [bug-gawk] GAWK feature suggestions

Lol.

Actually, my ultimate aim _is_ to port the app I’m writing to Python, but as I 
don’t know the language (or any other recent language either) my first step has 
been to prototype the whole thing in gawk while at the same time learning 
Python. Python is certainly behind my fourth suggestion, as having the 
possibility to include test code in a function library is very handy.

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply. I started using awk with an SCO Xenix setup in 1988. 
We’re neither of us getting any younger ☺
It gets "better" everyday ... amiright?

Any thoughts on my other suggestions ?
I cringe to say this, but have you considered Python?
