You can build a web server and do ETL with PowerShell?

If it's a simple script, bash is in the box... If it's more complex, I'll reach for a more rich scripting platform.

I mean, the entire dotnet is available, you can do anything in PS though obviously that is not always the smart call.

It has been very useful to me to use as a REPL on my own C# libraries, I can instantiate and use types from these libraries and interface with the file system and network on an ad hoc basis.
