Powershit is a good thing? Here’s a genus idea, put an object oriented language in the terminal.

  That's powershell?

  Yes, 100%. Old text-based shell scripting promotes security holes the size of Pacific ocean as numerous as stars in the Milky Way.

  PowerShell isn't bad. It's a paradigm shift, but the concept and execution are god (not great, but good). I recommend you seriously give it a chance, it's probably one of the only Microsoft things I miss on Linux (other commenters, i'm aware I can use PS as a Linux shell, but that requires trusting Microsoft to keep it good.)

  Yes an object oriented language that has meaningful command names that make sense and not require you to be born in 1950s to understand its trivia. An object oriented language that doesn't have weird-ass pitfalls: https://web.archive.org/web/20240112161109/http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls https://web.archive.org/web/20240112161109/http://mywiki.woo... An object oriented language that takes the piping concept and improves it so one can actually form pipelines that make sense and not waste limited resources in just parsing text. However at the same time add more powerful and efficient text parsing tools. So one can actually script on the go with ease. An object oriented language that is not C which is the language which most stubborn Unix developers usually reach for when their shell is too inefficient or too unwieldy for certain tasks and create even more security holes.
