2 of 4/After CRAS was running in telco, I printed the shell scripts/awk code, left a copy on Brian's desk, at that time the largest collection of awk in production use. He was surprised, said "We built awk for little programs!" I Said: "It works, it was fast to write, easy to change." And later, I had someone write C functiosnthat made it easy to recode performance-sensitive cases in C.
A bit later, A, W & K invited me over to give input on features for a revised implementation.
