PowerShell is pretty good for shell scripting.
iwr https://example.com
You also have arbitrary precision integers and all the other stuff from .NET
$b = [BigInt]::Parse('10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000')
Powershell has god awful syntax though. There's no way I'd want to do anything remotely significant with it.
PowerShell’s syntax Is just fine. Very few special characters, minimal escaping, easy to read. If you understand PowerShell semantics, the syntax comes quite naturally.
