- 0xFFC 11y agoI am seeing this narrative in HN and web which is ridiculous, You have nothing to worry about PowerShell,Microsoft showed they are dead serious about Windows 10 and PowerShell deeply integrated to .net platform. So I am pretty sure and I can predict nothing will happen to PowerShell because this is against company interest. They are trying to introduce bash as native shell as another option. That's all.
- new_hackers 11y agoright, which means more and more people won't bother learning PowerShell and just use grep and the like. It is still somehow a secret that PowerShell even exists. I can't count the number of Windows users I know that still open cmd.exe, or install cygwin so they can grep files. I'm just saying that dealing with text is inferior to .NET objects on windows, and the PowerShell pipeline is much more powerful. However, I don't know how many people will end up learning this cause, "hey I can just use bash!"
