With a name like that, there've almost certainly been multiple things
using it. The PowerShell that comes with modern Windowses came out in
2006, and IMO it's less of a shell language and more of a scripting
language. And if I want to use a scripting language for program flow
control, I'll use Python or Pike, fankyouwerrymuch.
