alt Hacker NewsIt does, but it's so darn weird. Can we have another flavour of Powershell but with some other language hooked up to its dotnet underpinnings? Like I dunno, I would even take Lua over the weird syntax of PS.

Indeed, it's very weird. It really took much more time than I expect to learn Powershell, even with many years of coding experience. But I'm totally happy now.
PowerShell is sort of two languages, and it looks weird because they are often used together. But if you see them separate first, there isn't much there that is surprising. I do somewhat share your concern about it being built on dotnet, but one advantage is you have access to everything in dotnet, including building GUI apps (Windows only). Though, at that point the syntax does get kinda weird.
