wak

Package

• make install does not respect DESTDIR and instead installs to --prefix=
• No need to provide gawk or mawk compatibility symlinks

Other

• Use the standalone version and not the one bundled with toybox
• Used to be very slow; 8-10 times slower than mawk
• Now it is slightly faster than gawk and a tad bit slower than mawk while being smaller
