It would immensely increase the language's usefulness if there was an :exec function (or maybe it should be an !exec construct?) available that'd make it possible to call other programs.

Things to consider:

  • Syntax for passing arguments to called programs.
  • Syntax for passing input (stdin) to called programs.
  • How to return both the exit status and output (stdout) to the user?
  • Should there be a facility to retrieve the error output (stderr) of called program?
  • Should there be a facility to retrieve the running time of the called program?
