And Powershell is super slow when you deal with a lot of data to the point of being unusable.
Two years ago I worked on a project where we used Powershell a lot. It worked OK but I think next time around I would use Python.
It would have been much better if they had used a variation of C= (which is a pretty good language)
For example, you can make a Win32 GUI app, but the console window still shows. So, you can hide it, but it flashes briefly anyway.
Also, there's weird overlap of features, sometimes because it's so easy to call out to dot net. Like, there's Start-Job, but there's also Runspaces and System.Threading.Thread. Makes it hard to find the "right way" to do something.
