  • Why Microsoft open sourced PowerShell and ported it to Linux

  • I wouldn't call it confusion, more just ick. I don't really like it.

  • I check if a user agent has gptbot, and if it does I 302 it to web.sp.am.

  • I know, but not all languages require it.

    For example, lua does the following:

      lua
        
if true
then
print("hello")
end
      hello

    but this also works: 

      lua
        
if true then
    print("hello")

hello

  • After the if condition. No other language does that, so it feels unecessary.

  • Did you mean WSL? I mostly use it for that too because lua development on windows is ass.

  • I can do that as well:

     
        
$l = Get-Content "example.txt" -TotalCount 1; Write-Output $l; ($l.TrimEnd("`r", "`n")).Length

    There's a condensed version using aliases then:

     
        
$l = gc 'example.txt' -TotalCount 1; $l; ($l.TrimEnd("`r", "`n")).Length

    I still think it has a better syntax than bash.

  • Maybe you're a bit more used to the linux stuff then.

    https://lemm.ee/comment/20786033 -- I think powershell's syntax is far better than bash's. It feels more modern.

    That is fucked up and its annoying that it works

  • Its a completely different shell, not just another terminal emulator.

    Its more readable, and its syntax is less arcane than bash.

    For example, a script to get the first line of a file and its lenght in bash is:

      bash
        
#!/bin/bash


if [ "$#" -ne 1 ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 filename"
    exit 1
fi

filename="$1"


if [ ! -r "$filename" ]; then
    echo "File '$filename' does not exist or is not readable."
    exit 1
fi


read -r first_line < "$filename"


echo "First line: $first_line"


length=${#first_line}

echo "Length of first line: $length"

    There is so much I hate about this, like using a semicolon after the if condition, and ending it in fi.

    Versus the powershell version:

      powershell
        
param (
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
    [string]$FilePath
)


if (-not (Test-Path -Path $FilePath)) {
    Write-Error "File '$FilePath' does not exist."
    exit 1
}

try {
    
    $firstLine = Get-Content -Path $FilePath -TotalCount 1
}
catch {
    Write-Error "Could not read from file '$FilePath'."
    exit 1
}


Write-Output "First line: $firstLine"


$lineLength = $firstLine.Length
Write-Output "Length of first line: $lineLength"

    It feels more modern.
