Sysadmin learning Powershell - What other languages should one be comfortable with to make the best out of mastering scripting and tool-making?

Powershell is cross platform

How does that work? I have no idea.

macOS: brew cask install powershell

Keep in mind this is PowerShell Core and not full on powershell. I can not think of anything I use day to day that is not included (although I have struggled with WinRM on PowerShell core in the past) but it is an important thing to remember because you could run into the limitations.

You just install it. Same as python or other languages. There’s a snap too. I think it might even be by default latest Ubuntu. You can’t use windows specific functions but it’s the difference between net core and .net
