Ask HN: Command line tool like Pandas?

2 pointsby LifeIsBioalmost 5 years ago
I'm looking for recommendations for a tool for quickly processing columnar data from the command line. The reason that I mention pandas is because that's the tool I'm currently most familiar with. It'd be nice to avoid learning a lot of new syntax (e.g. picking up awk). There are a lot of scenarios where Pandas isn't optimal, and I'd like to also learn another cli data processor. Any suggestions?
