You look at the developer documentation for developing PowerShell cmdlets using C#, and go "look! it says you create cmdlets using C#!". Well, here is another way to create cmdlets: https://msdn.microsoft.com/e

PowerShell cmdlets can be written in PowerShell. PowerShell modules (the unit of distribution) can be written in entirely in PowerShell. You can also write them in a .NET language, like C#, F# or VB.NET. I disagree that it is painful to wri

jq is awesome, a real achievement. At the same time it demonstrates everything that is wrong with traditional shells and what PowerShell gets so right. jq is not a "Unixy" tool in the sense that it should do one thing and do it

To be fair, generics are only needed for as long as you insist on static typing. Languages with dynamic typing where types are checked at runtime do not need generics. And generics is complicated topic. I am all for static typing, especia

It was never about "backwards compatibility". It was always entirely possible to introduce generics and still have both the compiler and the runtime perfectly backwards compatible. C# did this going from version 1 to 2 of the CLR.

What? No, I need reification because: 1) I do not want the compiler to create extraneous call-site code, bridge methods and other cruft to ensure that a value is really of the declared type (or derived from it). For instance, when you itera
