Is 'command-argument-token' supposed to be 'command-argument'?

Hey Microsoft: Would you consider going a step further, and releasing the PowerShell parser under an Open Source license?

Or maybe you'd consider sharing your automated tests?

No, they don't. That's why they need PowerShell.

Do any other platforms have such a modern shell, modern meaning that we're passing and handling objects instead of strings most of the time?

Other platforms have various excellent shells. Why would anyone be interested in PowerShell?

If you freely licensed the source code then implementing PowerShell on other platforms would be even easier.

While Microsoft probably won't port this to another platform themselves, I was at the event where they announced this and they do hope this encourages others to make something like Pash. They know that right now some people don't like PowerShell because it is Microsoft only. They talked about Pash and commented that the complexity of the task made it very difficult for them to succeed without a document like this.

I'm glad they have this out now and also hope that others implement PowerShell on other platforms.

I am curious if Microsoft will work on porting PowerShell to other platform now? Or support some initiative like Pash (http://pash.sourceforge.net/) project? I guess by publishing the language specification, you are in a way taking the first step to support that porting initiative and this Community Promise is another. This is good news. :)
