Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power.
I've always been particularly revolted by powershell syntax and utilities
Yes, if it was as object based as it claims, Get-WmiObject would subtract WmiObject from Get. Instead it is like having all the clutchy drawbacks from being object based without reaping any of the potential bemefits.
If you want anything that actually is object based, just use xon.sh - sane and familiar syntax with insane amounts of power just like that
Or nushell.
Is this a joke
It's from the beginning meant to be fully scripted though. You're not supposed to be putting in these commands manually, it's meant to be used in an environment where the 5-50 commands you or your company needs constantly have aliases and script files defined and on PATH.
I mean, that's great, I hate scripting in powershell too though lol.
Fair, as do I honestly. ๐
