Unpopular opinion: Semi-colon should be the default delimiter instead of comma or tab

Personally my preferred one is the quick proof of concept that I threw together to teach a student that character delimitation is an arbitrary thing: the emoji-separated variable.

Of course they immediately proceeded to make 🍆 the delimiter and 💦 the quote, which I should've expected.

I've had to deal with the abomination that is pipe delimited files...

And call it filename.sdv ?

Ive dealt with pipe separated data, colon separated data, and tilde separated data

Honestly commas are the most disruptive delimiter to choose
