> "One strong advantage of the current system is that the input matches the interface. Everything is text, so it all can be typed with the keyboard. But if this shell "displays structured results as real fing structures (YAML, JSON, ...)", that may not be true. If the shell spits out a table, is it a CSV table? A YAML / JSON nested array? How is the user supposed to edit it? The interface isn't clear, and any layers at all are going to take some thought to be able to compose naturally with other tools. (The author addresses part of this with "All operations made via a UI, including mouse operations in GUI must have and display textual representation, allowing to copy / paste / save to a file / send to friend.")"

In NGS: Next Generation Unix Shell
ygra·Nov 25, 2013
PowerShell is nice and in principle seems more Unixy than the normal Unix core utils in that cmdlets really do only one thing and that one well (most of ls' options for example can be solved by simply combining Get-ChildItem with Sort-Object or one of the Format-* cmdlets). As for a port, you're welcome to contribute on Pash (https://github.com/Pash-Project/Pash) – it's still woefully incomplete, sadly.
