Regular visitors to this blog will know that I don't like the CSV format. It's awful. In my humble opinion, data workers should aim to use invisible tabs (TSV) or visible pipes (PSV) as field separators in delimited text tables.

On December 10, 1980—Ada Lovelace's birthday—they made the Ada programming language an official military standard in the UK.
