Perhaps it's time to create a web-site that boycott's this new "innovation"
from the OSS world. Funny how not that long ago the "advocates" here in COLA
were claiming how useless PowerShell was and how it was inferior to what
linux had. Then suddenly the linux CLI gets this new innovation/breakthrough
and now that they've stolen^h^h^h copied a bunch of ideas from PowerShell
they all crow about their "innovation"

Heavily inspired by Microsoft Powershell, the underlying infrastructure of
Hotwire is based on the principle of object pipelines. Instead of piping
static text from one command to another, Hotwire transmits Python object
instances. Hotwire's object-oriented underpinnings make it possible to
perform filtering on object properties and display command output in
graphical tables with titled columns.

Hmmmm.... sounds just like what PowerShell had over a year ago.
