Windows also has a modern scripting capability.
It does now after many years. I get the impression from what I hear at various meeting s and conferences that it is intended for sysadmins and the like and not for the end user.
A script doesn't have to be complex, have functions and control structures. It can be as simple as a sequence of commands to be executed one after the other, in a list, because you use that sequence often and don't want to make errors.
Its when you get to use pipes and filters that it gets powerful. Even someting as simple as piping the output of 'find' though xargs and grep -- APL is a mistake, carried through to perfection. It is the language of the future for the programming techniques of the past: it creates a new generation of coding bums. -- Edsger W.
