    I’m confused by this command output typing you’re talking about, and I’m not sure if I found the correct thing. Are you talking about the Write-Host and Write-Output?

      I’d assume they mean that command return values can have types besides string. In classical shells, all data is stringy, so every command has to re-interpret everything. PowerShell can actually use data types.

      As far as I understand it it’s like stdout and stderr but with some additional ones for debuging, logging, etc…
