- frankus 8y agoI wish PowerShell and/or some of its ideas had a bit more mindshare outside of the MS ecosystem. Other folks have talked about this at length (e.g. https://mkremins.github.io/blog/unix-not-acceptable-unix/ https://mkremins.github.io/blog/unix-not-acceptable-unix/), but the fact that there is no standard way to pass anything other than strings of plain text between UNIX shell commands is incredibly limiting. Heck even if we could pass a flag (say, -j) to something like ls and have it spit out JSON instead of plain text would be an upgrade.
