I realize the author was probably using the term "unreasonable" for literary effect.

But it's not unreasonable at all. Aho of the "Dragon Book", Weinberger of Bell Labs, and of course Brian Kernighan of K&R.

One would expect nothing less, really and they did not disappoint.

The authors themselves were astonished to see what their language could do in the hands of other programmers.

That literary effect works these days, unreasonably well unfortunately.

How about "AWK is Still Effective". I'd still click on that.
