In the comments section of a recent post I found out that Windows PowerShell had been ported to Linux. Had no clue it was a thing.
Went looking and found this old article attempting to explain why they did it. Not remotely interested in giving up Bash for PowerShell, but I thought it was interesting enough to share. The article seems to be from 2016.

As a wonder, what’s your ‘first’ language? Did you like it?
I’d guess that might influence your preferences.
I started with (iirc, in order) batch, bash, python, powershell, go, typescript, rust.
I’m not putting all the ‘markup’ languages in there.
I started with (in order, give or take one or two): python, javascript, lua, c, bash, powershell
