Writing awk to do it is definitely more work than calling obj.Property though.
$mysql_cmd|awk -F\| '$2 == "what you want the second row to match" {print $0}' Not that much more work. And you can do better if you can coax mysql to emit proper DSV.

FAKE and CAKE are not replacements for Maven, but for Ant/Make. Maven and Maven-like tools on the other hand are so much more. Here's a personal anecdote. I work on Monix.io, which is a cross-compiled Scala library for the JVM and Javascript/Scala.js. I could easily do that because of SBT, which is Scala's flavor of Maven.

If all this API effort had gone into a real cross-platform language (Python, Ruby, or even Perl which was king in 2001), Windows would have flourished. They went for their traditional lock-in approach instead, so now they have to catch up.
Windows did flourish... And are you suggesting that Perl would have been a better solution for a Windows interactive shell and automation tool? Are you going for the more readable argument? Or the more strongly typed argument?
Sure. Just see all those buildings full of Windows servers running Facebook, Google, Twitter, Amazon...

You can reference projects or other files that are in submodules. What about the .NET build process makes vendoring the only option? Even so, it's always been more convenient in my experience when something just ships with fixed versions of dependencies already inside it. Those versions are known to work with the codebase and there's no chance of new bugs or other incompatible behavior being introduced from updates t…

AFAIK, even NuGet doesn't allow you to just check in the dependency spec, rather than the contents of all of your dependencies. > Even so, it's always been more convenient in my experience when something just ships with fixed versions of dependencies already inside it. I agree. But that doesn't mean that they belong in Git, nor that they should even…
I have a project where I only checked in the solution's repositories.config (packages/repositories.config) and the project's packages.config (ProjectName/packages.config), and it seems to work fine.

There are plenty of Windows servers running plenty of businesses. They may not outnumber non-Windows servers, but I don't think "majority" has to be a prerequisite for "flourish".
There are also buildings full of Windows clients...

Is there no trivial way to print a PowerShell object? As JSON or XML or an ascii table formatted into columns? That seems like a point of friction, then, I'd agree.
You can print them, but you can't serialise them in a way that can be later unserialised.
Nope, that's wrong:
Export-CliXml
Import-CliXml
For instance:
PS> ps|Export-Clixml myprocesses.xml
PS> Import-Clixml .\myprocesses.xml

...Granted, the re-hydrated objects are not the original objects. Most method will not work after re-hydration as the object has been ripped from it's context. Think ProcessInfo (the objects returned from 'ps' (Get-Process)) - in it's original form it can be used to interact with the process, e.g. terminating it. In the rehydrated form it can be used only to inspect properties.
Speaking from experience, this is rarely a problem. CliXML works remarkably well.

Yeah, DCOM was a task of fillout the correct fields with the correct values, and try again until you get it right. Anyone with passing C++ knowledge could do it through shear brute force. It's one of the things which made me never want to program on Windows again.
I ported a bunch of COM to Linux in the late 1990's. Not DCOM with the full RPC, but just in-process COM. I had .so shared libs with DllMain and DllCanUnload now in them, I had CoCreateClass, I had a significant part of the registry API implemented in terms of a text file store (HKEY_LOCAL_USER being in the home directory, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE somewhere in /etc, ...) and such. IUnknown, QueryInterface, AddRef, Release,…

By default, an object at the end of a pipeline will be printed to the screen in tabular format.

Indeed, the default view (table/list/custom) can be specified, and for the view the default properties can be specified.
Consider how 'ls' produces a sequence of FileSystemInfo objects (when run against a disk file system). The view specifies that the list be grouped by "parent".
On the terminal this gives a nice list a la:

You can certainly print them, but there's no guarantee you'll get all its contents by default, and there's still the problem of how to create those objects from some other output, e.g. in a file. http://windowsitpro.com/powershell/powershell-objects-and-ou... It could be said that, in some ways, unstructured streams are far more WYSIWYG, which can conceptually mean easier understanding and use.
That's what CliXML is for. Export-CliXml writes objects to a file. Import-CliXml reads them back.
