Will minimal PowerShell eventually use .NET nanoFramework? Or could there be a version of minimal PowerShell to interact with IoT devices based on the .Net nanoframework?
In past discussions you mentioned that in order to include PowerShell Core in Windows you need to find a solution to the lifecycle difference. I just unrelatedly read the What's new in Windows Server 2022 and noticed that under "Microsoft Edge browser" it mentions that Edge is essentially excluded from the Windows lifecycle and "follows the Modern Lifecycle for its support lifecycle"
Microsoft Edge browser is de-facto a standalone package. Early PowerShell versions was distributed with WMF as a standalone package too. So MSFT could use the experience and issue new portable WMF 7.0 as a standalone package too.
At one point, Snover mentioned how DSLs were going to get some improvements. Maybe I misinterpreted and he was talking about past improvements that had been done. Either way... Anything planned?
@markdomansky We did learn something from the PSArm project, about what is missing in PowerShell to make it hard to implement a complex DSL in an easy and reliable way. @rjmholt opened 4 issues (prefixed with [DSL support] in the title).
