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…
