Assembly language, followed by C.

That comes close to being a stupid question, and is ceratinly a troll.

What a lame attempt at starting an argument.

one can convert sed to perl, and awk to perl.
You can't convert a generic perl to sed or awk script.

In short, perl is more powerful, but more complicated. If you are new
to all of them, I'd use AWK.

I think AWK is a wonderful, simple and elegant language. It has a lot
of power, and is easy to learm.

If you need to do something that AWK can't do, and can't easily fix it
by piping the results to another utility liek sed or sort, try
converting it to perl (using "a2p") and adding the new stuff to
perl. And since you know how AWK works, you get a head start on perl
by using the perl flavor of the AWK script.

% You can't convert a generic perl to sed or awk script.

Because to do that, you'd have to be able to read it.

How would that be helpful to someone posting to comp.lang.awk,
comp.unix.shell, comp.unix.questions, and comp.lang.perl.misc?

It might help them learn to trim their crossposts.

Based on his subject...

"Which is more powerful?"

New improved Ajax with bleach is more powerful than standard Ajax any
day.

if all you need is a one-to-one remapping don't bother with
learning a scripting language -- just use a text editor like
emacs or vi -- and anyone can tell you which one of those
is the more powerfull (sic) . . .
