Lui for an ACM Sigplan publication, explaining why he used gawk for teaching introductory Artificial Intelligence courses. Since it was not clear as to copying permissions and so on, it has been removed from the gawk distribution. A quick web search shows that this same draft is available at http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~loui/sigplan and the final article is available from the ACM: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=242908 The article itself is recommended reading.
