I agree, I want that too. It was not an afterthought in case of Yatta but rather a difficult tradeoff to make in terms of extending the syntax (which I try to keep minimalistic) and providing an easy interface for interacting with external processes. You can see the result of making this tradeoff here: https://yatta-lang.org/docs/stdlib/system/#running-a-pipeline-of-external-process https://yatta-lang.org/docs/stdlib/system/#running-a-pipelin... Not as "seamless" as bash maybe, and perhaps not feature-complete yet, but I hope this can serve as a starting point and we can build on this for future releases.
