For instance, it doesn't have the Unix pipeline (which cmd.exe *does* have). Instead, it assumes everything you'll be passing around in it is basically a serialized object in the tradition of the .NET framework. It is, in short, more of a glue code development tool for .NET developers than a proper command shell. You can abuse it as a command shell if you want to, but in my experience the REPL for the R6RS (Scheme) implementation called Ypsilon serves as a better command shell than PowerShell. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --Yia77v5a8fyVHJSl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk3AK4EACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKVXcACfZwW/QEBQFKfeJ42WSq3Ebqdc 2XgAoNhsecf8ylJ+wb5dKvMFMQ6L2PJL =0SLM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Yia77v5a8fyVHJSl--
