For me PowerShell doesn't absolutely need any such sophistication
(/bloat) like on Windows, but I find it useful as a language on the
command line.

Some people like PHP on the command line, but that's them ..

For scripting use, PowerShell's language features (variables,
conditionals, pipelines, iterations, parameters, heredocs, etc....) have
been stolen from Bash and considerably improved upon.

I float between Bash and PowerShell, though only done a couple of
PowerShell projects on Linux (network card throughput testing was one),
I much prefer the syntax and tools available (VSCODE)

My other pain point lately is the Puppet language and Icinga. ugh...

Replace all! by PowerShell


Has anyone seen my straight jacket?
