Additional Thoughts on Hashtables
I recently starting looking at the subreddit for PowerShell, and I’ve seen a lot of people using hashtables for just about everything. I’ve even seen a few people using them over at PowerShell.com and in both cases the usage was dubious at best. Here are my thoughts on it, and why hashtables are usually not the right choice.
Objects and Hashtables
I expect, if you got the right group of people together, you could have a good old Mac vs PC style argument over the use of Powershell Objects (PSObjects) and hashtables. And I’ll be honest, while I’ve used hashtables a lot for splatting I’ve used them very little for anything else. Time to look at the two and figure out which is better, once and for all!
