[alphafalfa]

I love programming in shell script! Am I good at it? No, but there are serious ninjas out there.

So how is adding the bash category going? I've already an example, which (probably) works for 10M rows :-)

I wrote a version in awk that was blazing fast for the first 10k rows, and then started going nuts and printing near gibberish.

Ah OK I'm going for a pure bash implementation, but awk is interesting solution too. It could be two distinct categories. Are you loading entire file into some variable?

Gonna commit the solution tomorrow (I've forgot to roundup results at the end), also I'm not familiar with github and looking into C category repo it seems the bash category gonna need to be different (especially "running each program 5 times" would take too much time).
