he's based now. the operating system of the future will use a capability restricted database instead of a traditional file system

this is how winfs can still win en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinFS

this would be so based with powershell

Wait, are you saying you would want a database-like filesystem in PowerShell ? If so, are you already familiar with PowerShell providers?

i was not, and they seem like an extremely good idea

Yeah they are one of the undersung extension points of PowerShell. And I keep meaning to write an "object provider". Does this sound cool to you? CD into properties and subproperties? Invoke-item into methods?

i'm not very familiar with the internals of .net or powershell, but wouldn't that break parts of the interface like Set-Item, Remove-Item, New-Item? the idea of providers generically is nice though. i currently use nushell, but its concept of $env.PWD is somewhat coupled to a file tree
