No love for this? It comes in handy sometimes.
yeah i guess if you want to make scripts, i just google what I want and copy paste

Fuck PowerShell and fuck Microsoft's idiotic refusal to simply support the GNU toolchain.
>>55202360
Well, the GNU commands work though...

Why haven't you told me this exists before you fuckhead!

wth are you even trying to say? did you just have a stroke ?

Install zsh. Zsh tab completion is part of zsh. Zsh is linked to zle. Zsh is shit, but zle is good.
Install bash. Bash tab completion is part of bash. Bash is linked to GNU readline. Readline is shit, but bash is good.
What if you could install bash and use zle? What if you could be an ultra pleb and use zsh with readline? What if shells were modular?
having line editing built in is an anachronism and a hack
>>55202473
It's magnificent.

>the elegant and simple plan 9 toolchain
What toolchain? It's a fucking command interpreter, not a toolchain.
And it's not elegant. Not the way they sold it, anyway. They were extremely vague and devious when they introduced it, because they knew they'd scare people off if they were honest.
>>55202391
What?
being able to call the entire .NET api from powershell is neat
does powershell only work on windows?
>>55202527
They were extremely vague and devious because they were too busy childishly giggling about how silly they made GNU's arbitrary verbosity and complexity look
>>55202579
Not even vaguely true.
It was a pet project of a bunch of dickhead dweebs who wanted to weasel their way into control of Microsoft's direction. Like everything at MS, it was a result of pure infighting.
>>55202276
I'm going to open myself up to some serious shitposting here and admit that I'm considering upgrading to 10 for this feature.
Is it worth it? It would make a lot of my dev work a shitton easier.
>>55202532
Inputting GNU commands is allowed.
>>55202694
I'd say it's worth, but I'm no dev, so I can't tell you much from here. Try it on a VM if you are not sure though, or watch some videos on it.

>Lettuce give the lusers a scripting tool, but not allow them to use their own scripts without some trick fuckery.
no thanks. I would rather reinstall Gahnoo + loonix.
>>55202699
WTF are you talking about?
