Julia has been excellent for shelling out since almost the beginning. See https://julialang.org/blog/2012/03/shelling-out-sucks

Nobody complains about julia for "shelling out". The imo justified complaint is that julia sucks at "shelling in".

(OK, the pipe buffering rules still annoy me)

Similar with FFI: Julia has awesome support for calling out to other languages; support for getting called by other languages is suboptimal.
