Unironically Powershell. I agree with you, I don't get how people can justify having a string of bytes and then parsing that to communicate between programs. Powershell functions off of data types. You can so ls (an alias for Get-ChildItem). You can also do (ls).CreationTime, just like in most languages since it returns an object. Or (ls)[0].Name, since just like you would expect, it returns an array of objects. Or do ls | select-object Name, CreationTime. And grab those variables out of the object. And when you pass things, it passes an object. Much safer, much easier, whether Powershell or something else, this idea is the future of terminal.
