PowerShell runs on Linux. I run PS as my primary shell [0] on Linux today. It's is open source too.

You're not far away with how PowerShell can parse Linux commands. Instead of relying on awk/grep, PowerShell uses .NET under the hood to provide consistency across operating systems. There are a few methods for converting from a Linux command to PowerShell objects based on delimiters or OFS. If you're interested, Steve Lee wrote a blog post that does a good job covering how to parse Linux command output into PowerShell objects [1].

Yeah, I know about it running on linux and even tried to use it as a default shell for a time.

Thanks for the links though, I didn’t dive this deep into it.
