Programming Language
AWK is a programming language. It may be used to instruct computers to accomplish a variety of tasks which may or may not be domain-specific. You may find a list of its implementations here, and a list of its users on RC here.

Listed below are all of the tasks on Rosetta Code which have been solved using AWK.

AWK is a general purpose programming language that is designed for processing text-based data, either in files or data streams. AWK is an example of a programming language that extensively uses the string datatype, associative arrays (that is, arrays indexed by key strings), and regular expressions. The power, terseness, and limitations of AWK programs and sed scripts inspired Larry Wall to write Perl. Because of their dense notation, all these languages are often used for writing one-liner programs.

The reference implementation is still maintained by Brian Kernighan (the "K" in AWK).
