Since people are curious Ill explain why:
I need to build our project from the remote repo using a PowerShell script (.ps1). I’m using Bash in the VSCode terminal, I have to run the .ps1 script in a new Command Prompt because the compilation takes around 5 minutes and I need my terminal for other things. To do this, the only way is to run a batch file that executes the .ps1 script.
Its an automation so I dont need to touch powershell whatsover and remain in bash terminal. Instead of opening several windows, I automated all so it only takes 1 alias to compile my shit.
The compilation also requires several inputs and "Key Presses", so I automated all of that in the Batch file.
After learning PowerShell and then moving to Linux and having to learn bash...I don't get this sentiment. PS is the shit. I can make full GUI applications and automate all kinds of workflows. Their use of objects makes it so easy to extract data and utilize it. Bash feels so much more primitive and clumsy by comparison. What am I missing here?
You're missing nushell. Its the same idea as power shell, but written in rust and with better commandlet naming schemes.
Powershell is good, but it has that Microsoft funk on it. You can tell none of the people who develop it use it much. Warts everywhere.
