Microsoft has open-sourced the development of the PowerShell ScriptAnalyzer, moving it to GitHub to make it more readily available. This is great news for programmers and others who work in or with Windows PowerShell.

Here's one for the Windows programmers ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Thanks to tacticalogic for the heads-up!

I’ll have to check this out. I love PowerShell - great scripting language.

*goes to GitHub*

Ooooh... shiny. Will report back on new functionality. Got us scripting nerds all in a tizzy.

Unrelated, wish me luck. I take my final exam for my Server 2012 MCSA on Friday.

Oooooh...shiny. Can we just use Lisp or Scheme instead? I script in PowerShell daily and frankly I'm sick of bizarre irregular syntax and constantly having to coerce strange objects with strange side effects and behaviors into doing my bidding. Probably only 25% of Powershell makes sense, the rest is just vapid "Feeeechurrs" added for the weak-minded. It's like the worst of Perl and Python mixed together. I'm constantly discovering Windows Devops and Sysadmins sneaking in Node servers (OMG you can get it from NuGet) just so they can have some luck GSD in provisioning.

Whew. I didn't realize I had a rant waiting for this...at least I'm not pining for CMS and EXEC and REXX any more...
