Hello HN, this is an interactive awk tutorial that features a terminal in the browser to simulate the real experience.

To get it running in the browser, I compiled gawk from C to WebAssembly! If you're interested in how that was done, check out the biowasm project: https://github.com/biowasm/biowasm/tree/main/tools/gawk

Cool, thanks!

Nitpick: On page 7, it says

   Create a file called large_order.tsv that outputs the largest order of Bottled Water...

But then, under "Solution Criteria":

   File largest_order.tsv exists

Different filenames, "large_order" vs "largest_order".
