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.

I have never been more tempted to check the NSFW box, but I’ll leave it open for now unless a mod complains. :-D

    I can understand that. There are several expression ‘rules’ that don’t feel right to me.

    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.
