'tab', a new command-line utility for processing tabular text files seriously

10 points by otabdeveloper ↗ HN
It's actually a statically-typed, type-inferred declarative non-Turing-complete language for querying tabular text files. (Such csv/tsv or webserver logs.)

It's designed to fill the niche between SQL and traditional UNIX utilities like cut/sort/uniq/awk.

The source and documentation is here: http://bitbucket.org/tkatchev/tab

Great tool. A small tip for fellow dyslexic users. Create an alias named bat.
