Safe ways to do things in bash

I’d vote for PowerShell in a heartbeat. It passes real objects instead of strings. It’s cross platform and open source. It’s imperative but borrows some functional concepts.

PowerShell is good. I don't like some of the hardened conventions .. but it's highly convenient without being a mess. Nice output, regular sort/filter functions. I like sed but it goes old quickly.

I really wonder if PowerShell wouldn't have been much bigger had it been cross-platform from the start. Definitely better late than never (:clap: Microsoft) but at least in my sphere we never even thought seriously about PowerShell because we had too many linux machines in our environment.

As I say in the talk (and get a big laugh) 'Powershell is boring. It's too well-designed.'
