That is enormously disingenuous to try to equivocate IE/Spartan/Edge's single-OS existence with Safari/WebKit. WebKit works on every major operating system, including Windows and Linux. IE/Spartan/Edge does not

What still seems to be getting missed is that despite some superficial similarities, Unix pipelines and PowerShell pipelines serve different purposes, operate on different levels, function totally differently, and are not interchangeable wi

The mono information was only just added to the Readme, apparently after the parent's comment was posted. Previously it only mentioned Windows.

> your assertion that cmdlets are .NET classes is both factually wrong They are instances of .NET classes that derive from `Cmdlet` and `PSCmdlet` and run in the PowerShell runtime. As stated plain as day in the Microsoft cmdlet docume

PowerShell's "pipeline" is largely analogous to chained methods in a scripting language's REPL, and therefore is not the same as Unix pipes , which are used to share data streams between processes. Unix already has the

PowerShell is a .NET CLI and is more comparable to a JVM CLI (or the Python, Ruby, or Node REPLs) than it is to POSIX shells. Unix pipelines are for streaming data between processes using standard input and output. PowerShell pipelines are

That's what everyone predicted half a decade ago, yet it hasn't happened, not even the PHP death part. The relationships between these technologies have not really changed dramatically for the past 10 years. For example: http:&#x

Frankly, I'm surprised anyone would still make comments like yours after all these years. Comments like this probably peaked in 2008-2009 ("Rails can't scale" was even earlier) after the zed shaw article and there was a

It sounds like Microsoft just added support with an update to only mobile IE11 less than a year ago, which was a year and a half after Maciej's comment quoted by bsimpson that rbyers is responding to.

As far as I can see, touch events are not yet supported in IE: http://caniuse.com/#feat=touch And also note that the posting on the webkit list is from 2012.

Don't worry. There are still big parts of the world outside of the technology industry that are held hostage by Microsoft and their devoted IT department foot soldiers who refuse to acknowledge anything outside of the Microsoft bubble.

This series of comments is absolutely disgusting.

Calling someone a "prick" on multiple websites, as you have done, is massively rude. The fact that your nasty comment here got upvoted rather than flagged to death is really sad.

"Safari" aka WebKit + JavaScriptCore is also on iOS with a separate UI from OS X "Safari," similar to how you'd have a separate UI if you use WebKit + JavaScriptCore on Windows. Whether it's popular on Windows
