Turns out GCC has imperative argument handling

I'm guessing this person hasn't used (ImageMagick) "convert"; AFAIK it is the program that does the most to turn a sequence of command-line arguments into an imperative scripting "language"

You can built pretty darn complex things with just imagemagick command-line, between the max command line size and combining several intermediate pictures. I used to do complex dashboards, system architectural diagrams, with just bash functions calling in imagemagick. Now if you don't have imagemagick, rsvg-convert will do, just remember your svg :-).

Also I thought this crown of command-line as DSL was ffmpeg's?

The thing that weirds me out the most with ffmpeg is that they have input and output flipped. Input needs a flag (-i), while output is a flag-less argument.

Every other tool I know has either an output flag (-o) or takes the first argument as input and the second as output.

Would love to see some screenshots of that... Sounds like the digital equivalent of hand-drawn schematics

GStreamer also comes to mind.
