As far as the Windows and Mac comment goes, there is no reason why you couldn't do this on either. In fact Mac OS X supports the same commands as linux. In Windows case, I see no reason why you couldn't do one of two things: 1. The first would be implementing your own linux commands so they work on Windows. You would probably want something like cygwin, a linux vm, or an actual linux box to test this stuff on though. 2. Pick Windows commands instead and implement them instead. It’s the same idea roughly. I haven't used a Windows machine in almost a decade, so I'm not sure what all would be involved, but seems possible that you could get them to work roughly similar. As far as specific languages go, there’s no reason that almost any language couldn’t be used as long as it can take arguments from the command line.
