    awk is pretty damn solid. When I was completely rewriting the gravity.sh script from Pi-hole about six years back, it was easily the fastest for parsing and uniquely sorting content from files with a couple million lines. It made things much more usable on Raspberry Pi Zero hardware, since changing to another language like Python was out of the question.
