PowerShell is a verbose monstrosity that could only have been produced by a corporation like Microsoft and which appeals to those who pray at the altar of OOP. There, I've said it. Please leave shell scripting nice and imperative/procedural, far from the distant sound of approaching OOP jackboots.
- partdavid 5y agoYou might like tclsh.
- nickthemagicman 5y agoI like python for that exact reason. You can get everything you want done with functions and imports. If want to OOP it's there but not convoluted. Its like OOP light.
- cutler 5y agoFor a shell substitute, though, Ruby and Perl are better due to their enhanced support for one-liners. Matz was smart enough to retain Perl's virtues when he created Ruby. Sadly Python has taken over in the same way that VHS killed-off Betamax.
