AWK

https://blog.jpalardy.com/posts/why-learn-awk/
https://github.com/learnbyexample/Command-line-text-processing/blob/master/gnu_awk.md <- great intro to features

Sometimes called the Excel of the command-line
Follows the UNIX philosophy of "write programs as text filters"
Generally, a hint that you want AWK is when you write a shell script where you are piping sed to cut to grep to grep to tail etc.
It's everywhere due to being a requirement of the POSIX standard
