Powershell, an inferior shell to Bash and an inferior scripting language to Python. But probably quite useful for administering corporate windows instances.

I personally disagree on both accounts. Bash is gibberish to me and the year I had to dev python professionally was miserable
I am also miserable when speaking chinese. But I have no dobut that to people who actually speak chinese, it isn't gibberish.
This isn't really an argument against what I said. You can pick and choose your shell language based on preference for syntax. You generally learn a human language because you have to for one reason or another. I think bash has an unintuitive syntax, and I think powershell's is more readable
If languages were intuitive, it wouldn't take years to learn them.
Okay? Are we still talking about preferred shells or are we talking about chinese
We're talking about how your argument made no sense, for any kind of language that exists.
