the only thing i know about powershell is that the linux binary is named pwsh which i learned the hard way after writing pow and then accidentally tab completing poweroff and shutting down my pc

in fairness that might’ve been a sign

Powershell is actually powerful. You can write full on WPF grafical user interfaces with it.

If powershell wasn’t a Microsoft product I think it could easily outclass any shell currently available. The concept of command output typing is hand down one of the best features of any shell I’ve tried.

I’m confused by this command output typing you’re talking about, and I’m not sure if I found the correct thing. Are you talking about the Write-Host and Write-Output?

As far as I understand it it’s like stdout and stderr but with some additional ones for debuging, logging, etc…

Microsoft has literally invented EEE (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish).

It was my stepping stone from being an IT Support tech to a traditional Software Developer. Yes it’s not as easy to work with as a traditional language or as fast but it’s more flexible and often less verbose.
