Codehooks vs. FastScript vs. PackageManagement (OneGet) vs. PowerShell Comparison Chart

FastScript is a cross-platform, multi-language scripting engine. It is useful for programmers who want to add scripting ability to their projects. FastScript can be used in Delphi 7-XE8, C++Builder 2005-XE8, Embarcadero RAD Studio 11 and Lazarus. FastScript is written entirely in 100% Object Pascal. A unique feature of FastScript is its ability to use several languages (PascalScript, C++Script, BasicScript, and JScript). This allows you to write scripts using your favorite language. FastScript does not use the Microsoft Scripting Host so it can be used in both the Windows and Linux environments and also in Mac OS. FastScript offers a wide range of features, including cross-platform scripting, fast code execution, a small footprint, a large variety of tools, and excellent scaling options. Use FastScript to make your applications really flexible and powerful!

PowerShell is a cross-platform task automation and configuration management framework, consisting of a command-line shell and scripting language. Unlike most shells, which accept and return text, PowerShell is built on top of the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR), and accepts and returns .NET objects. This fundamental change brings entirely new tools and methods for automation. Unlike traditional command-line interfaces, PowerShell cmdlets are designed to deal with objects. An object is structured information that is more than just the string of characters appearing on the screen. Command output always carries extra information that you can use if you need it. If you've used text-processing tools to process data in the past, you'll find that they behave differently when used in PowerShell. In most cases, you don't need text-processing tools to extract specific information. You directly access portions of the data using standard PowerShell object syntax.
