are there any? ash, dash, csh, ksh and bash all suck when you want to do more complex programming because simple shit like conditionals are based on weird hacks, and because they favor clever one-liners over clarity. perl makes complex programming easier but it also relies heavily on cleverness and doing cryptic shit with symbols. popular scripting languages like python are ok if your're are idea of shell script is 'text processing', not 'managing processes and pipes'. scsh is not maintained anymore. maybe someone should make a racket #lang for this shit.

>>31 WTF. Typical Microsoft craziness/.NET shit/Windows is configuring your hardware durr hurr hurr type shit. (I honestly wonder how can somebody come up with so much bullshit to do when something happens in the OS in order for things to take THAT long to happen. Like... how would I waste so much CPU and I/O when you plug a fucking USB storage in? That much shit to do must have taken man years to develop... I can't begin to imagine what for. And they claim the structured data PowersHell handles is more efficient than Lunix text streams that need to be parsed?)
And they just don't get terminal work, no matter what. They even had to embed Ubuntu in order to get something decent.
