Next generation Unix pipe by Alex Larsson

I find the tendency to repeat Microsoft's mistakes deeply disturbing. Even if, in this case, the author acknowledges PoweeShell goes too far, his own idea goes too far.

I'd be all in with flags that make ps or ls spit JSON or XML, but this typed nonsense? What when I want to output a color? Will I need a new type?

Oh... and the sort thing... its not hard to sort numerically.

What, in this case, you consider "Microsoft's mistake"? I thought that PowerShell was commonly considered conceptually sound, but flawed in the implementation, mostly for it's verbosity making it unwieldy for interactive use. If this project can solve that, then I don't see it "repeating Microsoft's mistakes". Instead it would be correcting them.

What do you mean by "what when I want to output a color"?
