I just don't like the verbosity of Powershell myself... For that matter, I've trended towards using TypeScript (via Deno) for my user scripts that need more than basic shell interactions. I can reference any repository modules directly, use a shebang in the top of the script with self/executable, and no install step.

For that matter, deno in a shebang for an extensionless file now detects as a TypeScript file properly in VS Code. win-win-win. While being portable with a relatively small executable surface (deon executable only).
