command-line tools that can be easily approximated using (interprted) scripts

[mocore]

i was reminded of the below quote

Heh, if you want head or tail, use sed commands to do it and perhaps alias it by those names, or make it an executable script.  Remove those from busybox and relive the true spirit of the day!

https://github.com/gelisam/hawk # Haskell text processor for the command-line

While Hawk and awk have similar use cases, the philosophy behind the two is very different. Awk uses a specialized language designed to concisely express many text transformations, while Hawk uses the general-purpose language Haskell, which is also known for being concise, among other things. There are many standard command-line tools that can be easily approximated using short Haskell expressions.

and have afair.. also seen examples in the gawk manual of mimicking (*tangent ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Mock_a_Mockingbird) ..
eg https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html#wc-program

and wander if anyone knows of any similar scripted alternatives "standard command-line tools"
