On: A love letter to the CSV format

[relistan]

CSV is bad. Furthermore it’s unnecessary. ASCII has field and record separator characters that were for this purpose.

[munchler → relistan]

That would be great if keyboards had keys for those characters and there was a common way to display them on a screen, but they don't and there isn't.

[relistan → munchler]

I can’t remember the last time I or anyone else I know typed a CSV file out. It’s almost universally the lowest common denominator interchange format.

That's a feature, not a bug
