C is a compiled language, which makes it not as convenient as an interpreted language for real-time interactive use. Awk, in its way, becomes an advanced secondary packaging based on C and provides a convenient interface for users as an interpreted (script) language, which is exactly its purpose. Just as python, with which many underlying processing mechanisms are hidden to normal users. Though the similar situations also exist in lisp to some extent, but overall, users seem to have a lot more flexibility. Whether you are a novice or an advanced user, you can always try to discover new possibilities. Best, Hongyi
