No biggie.  Just thought you'd wanna know.

I think they're all three pretty different and unrelated.

Awk and Perl do both use {} for grouping and share a common syntax for IF, FOR and
WHILE statements, but that's about it.  Python with it's punction on every symbol
and the lack of functions with named parameters is pretty out there on its own.

In any case, my only point was  that AWK preceeded Python in time, not that there
was any relationship between the two.

Yeah, me too, though nowdays I almost always reach for Python.
