In a perfect world we would have beautifully designed APIs and bindings for everything that we could possibly desire and that includes things which we might want to invoke the shell to do (e.g. run imagemagick commands, invoke git, invoke docker etc.). But especially with burgeoning languages such as Go, it’s not as likely that such a module exists (or that it’s easy to use, robust, well-tested, etc.) as it is with a more mature language such as Python. So, we might become shellouts.
