PowerShell is my glue language of choice. Works cross platform and I get all the power of objects and the .NET Framework.

I like Powershell but IMO it still has too many fundamental Microsoftisms for it to be practical on Unix systems.
I would opt for Nushell instead: https://www.nushell.sh/
Nu just isn’t as exciting imo. You lose the C# standard library and all of the amazing tooling that Microsoft has built for it.

Nushell is a great project and I’ve taken it for a spin, but it isn’t developed enough yet to even come close to rivaling PowerShell. The PowerShell ecosystem is robust, and I can import a module for just about anything I need to do. I’ll be keeping an eye on Nushell though…
In much the same way Perl was used for gluing different things together Raku does all of that, but better, in parallel, while providing you some hor d'oeuvres to nibble on while you write it.
