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
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.
nushell is a thing, and basically has all the fun powershell features like a type system, but a more Unixy presentation. I've not used it, so don't know if it's actually any good, but it at least exists.
Apples to oranges, powershell is windows exposing most of COM, WMI and .NET object models while improving on the previous options with CScript and VBscript, as those are older than .NET.
Why are we comparing it with UNIX/Linux shells is beyond me.
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?
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.
