frawk: fast AWK like language

[ghuls]

frawk is a small programming language for writing short programs processing textual data. To a first approximation, it is an implementation of the AWK language; many common Awk programs produce equivalent output when passed to frawk. You might be interested in frawk if you want your scripts to handle escaped CSV/TSV like standard Awk fields, or if you want your scripts to execute faster.

The info subdirectory has more in-depth information on frawk:

Overview: what frawk is all about, how it differs from Awk.
Types: A quick gloss on frawk's approach to types and type inference.
Parallelism: An overview of frawk's parallelism support.
Benchmarks: A sense of the relative performance of frawk and other tools when processing large CSV or TSV files.
Builtin Functions Reference: A list of builtin functions implemented by frawk, including some that are new when compared with Awk.
