@neauoire I even have an app for editing it: ModernCSV: https://www.moderncsv.com

it's pretty pretty good and saves the round trip of import/export in other apps

@neauoire And Excel is the database ~everyone (in white collar world especially) already knows how to use.

(disclaimer for the reply guys: yes I know SQL isn't *that* bad, I love and use the hell out of PostgreSQL and SQLite too, but Excel is accessible even to accountants, which is the point)

@neauoire

Everywhere, slightly gross, and would survive a nuclear attack.

@neauoire I often tell the story of a CSV data exchange format that survived both the original systems that it was used to transfer between. There were fields in there that nobody knew what the source was or what it was used for downstream but just in case they keep the same value in there.

The transport even changed from CSV files sent over FTP to a message queue, but inside the message json was the same old CSV formatted data.

@neauoire XML is the capybara.

@neauoire clearly a quote from Mr Fancy brackets himself, {JSON}

@neauoire @shapefile — any thoughts here?

@neauoire found in dark corners now, after the apocalypse, found everywhere.

@neauoire
when i read replies, i feel it's a way to organise stuff and make poetry

it's a way to make poetry

@neauoire Excel cannot correctly read CSV.

@neauoire honestly I love the stupidity of it haha. I use tsv where possible but have modules for both in lua. We use them for the translations in arco as it allowed the translation teams to use Excel which is their normal process.
