Things to do

  • Github issues are here.
  • After the release announcment, by far the biggest asks were RFC-4180-compliant CSV, and packaging (Homebrew, .deb).
  • Miller’s record, field, and pair separators can only be single characters (e.g. newline, comma, equals sign), optionally allowing repeats on input (e.g. multiple spaces treated as one). It would be nice if strings were supported, e.g. "\n\n" paragraph-oriented record separation, or mix of space and tab for field separation.
  • String-oriented functions such as sub, and Miller’s filter, could be made far more powerful if a regular-expression library were included. Additionally, allowing RS, FS, and/or PS to be regexes would be powerful.
  • Various other to-do items are listed here.
