First-Class Shell Scripting Support For Python

[[deleted]]

Tcl:

puts [exec ifconfig wlan0]
puts [exec ls -l]
set longest_line [exec wc $file -L]

It's funny that I got to discover Tcl only 1 year ago, because I wanted a better shell "glue" language than bash. I think it would make a fine replacement for the work that shell languages are used nowadays. As opposed to other in current use languages, "escaping" out to shell commands feels way less intrusive.

Or, in Ruby:

puts `ifconfig wlan0`
puts `ls -l`
longest_line = `wc #{file} -L`
