Just port PowerShell to Linux, and Bash and friends will become obsolete.

EDIT: seems like that has already happened: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/insta...



It's not on my desktop (not installable via my distro), not on my laptop (same), not on my router (same, and it's a completely different one!), not on my phone, not on any of the servers I interact with (and again, not installable!)...

Given it's harder to get than (as an example) Python (which is likely already on the system I'm interacting with), and powershell just straight breaks things (https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/pull/1901), why would I ever use powershell?


The porting of PowerShell happened, Bash obsolescence is still uncertain.
