If you missed it, there is a current interview with Brian Kernighan on YouTube
Highlights:
He has added UTF-8 processing to his version of awk
(I don't know if it is available yet)
He is considering a new version of "The Awk Programming Language" book.
Lots of great history.
Also, great praise for current maintainers/supporters!
------
Apparently, Awk still has an active fan base, 42K+ views and 2K+ upvotes, and many comments for just this video.
Apparently, there are other Kernighan interviews on this channel.
