I had a look at this library today.

Quote the author: "The script library is implemented entirely in Go, and does not require any external userland programs." Sorry but that's not scripting anymore. We all like using userland programs! it is The Way.

Most programs tell you why they failed on stderr. Seems like stderr is lost when a pipe component fails. Strangely stderr and stdout are conflated in the pipe structure - there is no way to get stderr!

You just get the numeric exit status.

IO redirection appears to be missing.

Difficult to use in production.
