It is also able to leverage parallelism (through +multithreading) to make some tasks complete as fast as your computer +can allow. + +It can easily preview, filter, slice, aggregate, sort, join CSV files, +and exposes a large collection of composable commands that can be +chained together to perform a wide variety of typical tasks. + +xan also leverages its own expression language so you can perform +complex tasks that cannot be done by relying on the simplest +commands. This minimalistic language has been tailored for CSV data +and is way faster than evaluating typical dynamically-typed languages +such as Python, Lua, JavaScript etc. |
