    • CSV isn’t good for anything unless you exactly specify the dialect. CSV is unstandardized, so you can’t parse arbitrary CSV files correctly.
    • you don’t have to serialize tables to JSON in the “list of named records” format

    Just user Zarr or so for array data. A table with more than 200 rows isn’t ”human readable” anyway.

  • I think the “controversy” is just tribalism. I’ve never once witnessed a case of any of the negative adjectives thrown at the Rust community. They’ve always taken exceedingly fair and good-faith approaches to discussing any critique of the language.

    Their snark is reserved for the weird “anti-woke” crowd that hates Rust for some reason.

  • I just use nushell’s builtins instead of wrangling with IFS and bash idiosyncrasies. It’s been years since I’ve corrupted data by parsing text wrong.

    But even if someone doesn’t want that: apart from using it in legacy scripts, grep is just a strictly less useful ripgrep these days, no?

  • You’re right, of you have compete freedom, do that. If the place you want or need to go to is most comfortably reachable via rattlesnake road, bring boots.

    In other words, if you don’t think the wasm landscape is mature enough to build a web thing with it, you are stuck with JavaScript, but you don’t have to rawdog it. I haven’t run in a single weird thing like this in years of writing typescript with the help of its type system, ESLint and a formatter.
