Well........... sure.  Don't know about AVL, but it's hard to beat AWK for
sheer quaintness!  "Awk variables take on numeric ..... or string values
according to context."  "Array elements are not declared; they spring into
existence by being mentioned."  And buggy code?  What despair can compare with:

		awk: Syntax error near line 42
		awk: Bailing out near line 42
		$
