Well, let's not get carried away here. Depending on what you
do, the difference between GUI Emacs and a "TUI" Emacs can be
close to zero. Most often it is very small, I'd reckon.
Emacs is a TEXT editor, GUI or no GUI, doesn't change that.

Typically one would use a shell script language for that, be
it bash, ksh or zsh. I have tons of video and other multimedia
stuff with zsh [1] But one also think of Python and ... by all
means, even Elisp, as you have just shown. With Lisp, one can
do everything and anything, it is the Pythagorean theorem of
computing...
