Comment on Show HN: Sultan – Pythonic interface to your shellparent

Comments

And then I remember that Windows PowerShell does (attempts to, to be fair) exactly that

attempts to, to be fair

Output of ls in PS is an Array of objects (DirectoryInfo or FileInfo instances). How is that merely an attempt?

While PS-native stuff yield objects, not all pre-PS utilities/builtins are overriden or have interface for PS and output old fashioned text blob, which is not automagically parsed in any way by PS. My comment was system-level, not utility-level.
