Sorry, but Powershell is not a programming language. It has way too many quirks and gotchas to qualify as a programming language. It is an interactive scripting language first, and a scripted language second. But a programming language it is not. To give just one example: its automatic boxing and unboxing of arrays disqualifies it as a programming language. Try to return a one-element array from a Powershell function and you'll see what I mean.
