Monad

I'm a HUGE Monad fan. In fact in many ways its better than bash, cash, dash and all those other ash shells.

Why? Because I can access full objects from the command line and not just strings.

This means I can tie together the file system, .NET, and the internet beautifully.

I mean, I can even get my PC BIOS info from command line!

get-WMIObject win32_BIOS

SMBIOSBIOSVersion : R01-C1
Manufacturer : Phoenix Technologies, LTD
Name : )Phoenix - Award WorkstationBIOS v6.00PG
SerialNumber : PSPSTD643434602408W
Version : AWARD - 42302e31

I can even start Internet explorer

$ie = new-object -com "InternetExplorer.Application"
$ie.Visible=$true
$ie.Navigate2("cnn.com")

Is that cool or what?

Though a question begs to be asked -- instead of coming up with a whole new language why not use an idle one like JScript.NET?
