Depending on who you ask rawk is either a compiler or a preprocessor for awk, implemented in POSIX awk. It allows you to write declarative, functional-flavored code, with support for first-class functions, operations like map and reduce, etc.

It now features a hard mode and a super hard mode, that means you've gotta finish the levels in either 7 or 5 seconds.
