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.
Personally I detest it. Even opening a PowerShell window is rife with problems (you can hardly read what it says). I seriously don't want to script on Windows. I could never. I'm a guy with experience in Windows since 3.11 almost every day of my life, I have done programming in ASM, Pascal, Basic, Java, PHP, a bit of python, and Bash, and I *cannot* program in PowerShell. I don't want to either. Some hold that it is very powerful and bla bla. Just call me sick (I am) but programming in Bash at least makes me feel like there is hope after all in life :p.
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
That is really the only power of Linux. There is also hardly or scarcely anything more powerful than that. I think pipes (named pipes as well) should in some way remain or be the way of interprocess communciation as well. No matter how it should be implemented, the pipe should be the future. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
