That’s an odd combination! One of the best O/S scripting languages was DCL for VAX/VMS. Someone at Microsoft finally figured out how cool it was and created Powershell.
I still hate UNIX and LINUX. Vastly inferior. For example, if I want to copy a file from an HTTP source to my host system I have to use an mget command. The only problem is I can’t wildcard the file name of the file I want to copy. There is a command qualifier but it simply doesn’t work.
