I don’t want to write C#, I want something that can be that powerful when I need it, and be fast when I just want to get something done. Powershell is where I go in the Windows/M$ world, Python is where I go in the nix world.
There’s very few times that I need to write a Powershell script that runs like a daemon. I’m typically using it in a notebook in VSCode, but I do* have Kubernetes jobs that are written in Powershell that run periodically. They were quick and effortless to write, run fast (dotnet core,) and are easy for my team to understand if they want to modify them or someone needs to maintain them.
None of my team would willingly learn C#, nor would the business support them writing C#. A powershell script though? Fair game for anyone who wants to look at something new and innovative, it requires nothing if they use ISE, and if they want to, VSCode is already an approved app. Need a hosting platform? You can deploy on Kubernetes if you really want.
It’s a really big barrier to entry to force someone to use C#.
