Summary
The documentation provides code examples for multiple languages, including C#, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and PowerShell. However, the PowerShell example is given special treatment: it includes both a function.json configuration file and a run.ps1 script, whereas other languages only show the main code file. PowerShell is a Windows-centric tool, and there is no equivalent example for Bash or other Linux-native scripting environments. This creates a subtle bias towards Windows users by implying PowerShell is the default or preferred scripting environment for Azure Functions, without offering parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Bash or shell script examples for Linux users, especially for scenarios where PowerShell is shown.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives to PowerShell in the documentation, and clarify that Azure Functions can be developed and run on Linux using Bash or other shells.
- Ensure that configuration examples (such as function.json) are provided for all supported scripting environments, not just PowerShell.
- Consider adding a section or note highlighting cross-platform development and deployment options for Azure Functions, including Linux and macOS.
