    What a perfect name. I’m assuming the gag was intended :) “Aho” (or ahō) in slang Japanese means “idiot”, which is was “git” means in slang English.

      I sure hope Alfred Aho (the “A” in AWK) doesn’t know this…

        New site idea: enter a name, and it searches world dictionaries for derogatory meanings in various languages.

          petition to reserve such a perfect name for a version written in true awk. this one should be called gaho.

            Funny coincidence! Also see Alfred Aho of the Aho-Corasick algorithm.

              Aho is also the A in AWK.

                I figured, based on sibling comment.

            It still needs sha1sum. I was hoping to find it implemented in true awk.
