From my own experience learning bat scripting then sh scripting and then powershell, the 40-line monstrosity is what happens when you first learn another scripting language. Sometimes the paradigm can be so different that simply trying to port one script to another language ends up being more difficult (but better, from a learning standpoint, for me) than simply starting over.
- notalaser 11y agoWell, I never claimed I properly learned Powershell :-). Like everything on the Internet, lack of success with a technology should be taken to mean a failure of that technology as much as a failure of the programmer attempting to use it. It may well have been a problem above the application layer.
- JoBrad 11y agoWould you say the same about people who haven't been able to master sed? Success with any technology is as dependent on the technology as it is on the user. :)
