Show HN: Awk Version Comparison Dashboard (megamansec.github.io)
4 points by mmsc 5 months ago | hide | past | favorite
While building complicated awl scripts, I've struggled to remember which versions of awk support which features.

To test my awk scripts and ensure compatibility with all versions of awk, I've built this dashboard which can be used to ensure the output is what I expect with test data.

awks is built into WASM using emscripten.

There are some provided examples of varying outputs between versions, including the surprising example #3.
