This seems like an extreme reaction. Between the Windows UI and Powershell scripting, it seems fairly clear.

  Fair enough. Page now reads: "tool for creating filesystem automation plugins on Windows OS". That's all one could ask for.

    And the linux kernel runs on Windows, but I wouldn't expect this to be on the front page of linux.org. This landing page does a perfectly good job at communicating what it needs to.

  With that said, the feedback (despite the tone) is valid, indicating with words that this programming language doesn't work on anything other than windows is an important feature for the landing page to present. I can see clearly too, that it is for windows by the pictures, but better to say it with words.

  There's a bash example on the home page, so it wasn't obvious to me it's windows-only.

I think that was pretty clear from the first picture on that page. But there are some empty files for other operating systems in the source: https://github.com/wojfil/perun2/tree/master/src/os https://github.com/wojfil/perun2/tree/master/src/os So support for other systems might be planned.

The first words I saw communicated that the language was for "filesystem automation plugins" with an image of a Windows Explorer context menu below, which made it pretty clear which filesystem it was referring to. Then it took me half a second to click the download button and see (above the fold) that, as expected, only Windows was available. The landing page is fine.

There's a somewhat similar project that also works on linux https://www.nushell.sh/ https://www.nushell.sh/

If you are looking for something similar but for other platforms, there is fselect[1]. Can do all that, and tries to adhere to SQL. [1] https://github.com/jhspetersson/fselect https://github.com/jhspetersson/fselect
