textlog introduces #exec to execute code snippets for users
↗
The #exec feature lets textlog users execute code snippets directly, shown by a sample that computes 3*4+5*6 to 42.
The addition blurs textlog’s original role as a logging tool by letting users run code inside the same stream. The original author jokes that this starts a slippery slope where further features could turn textlog into an AI-like system. Teams must weigh the convenience of quick tests against the risk of scope creep.

textlog now accepts the #exec directive to run arbitrary code snippets.
An example shows console.log(3*4+5*6) producing the result 42.
The change prompts jokes about a slippery slope that could evolve textlog toward broader AI capabilities.
