That's not the definition of scripting that the article was refering to. The article was refering to automating tasks, which is usually, but not necessarily, accomplished with "scripting languages".

Powershell is fantastic for that kind of thing in the Windows environment...

Then that's still very, very easy and doable with the Windows Task Scheduler, crontab, and many, many other applications built around task automation and orchestration.

Even in that context, the article is a pile of fear-mongering horse shit.
