CSV is real-world.

I remember writing CSV parser in Lua like ten years ago.
Input was 700 MB .csv from library Genesis.

I think OP will discover how dirty real data can be (wrong quoting
and different format flavors instead of one standard). And how hairy
processing code becomes of this.

And I won't dare to do it in ancient language without variable-length
structures like C.
