tell me, /g/, will PowerShell ever be cool?

Define "cool".

It'll pretty much always be clunky and awkward since they made the hugely boneheaded decision of "Hmm, unix passes text streams through pipes, and that's the source of a lot of flexibility and power... I bet this would be even better if we made pipes carry C# objects instead of plain text!"

>>60876843
pretty much this.

probably would have been better if it was like cap'n'proto or some other plain ass serialized objects. but they had to go all nuts on that shit and somehow throw in their .NET cancer in it.

decent Idea i guess, but honestly if bash or z shell would just add nested hashmaps and gnu coreutils add a --json or similar output option, this shit would no longer be relevant at all.

just good old fashion "MUH UNIX" cancer faggots keeping it back at this point.

it's pretty amazing in terms of capabilities imho, but it's a shit show from a language/shell perspective

>>60876591
It is now.

>>60876591
it will never be a "true" shell.
