The language type hints are a handy way to split out the two scripts.

@AakilFernandes: in this case, echo writes the line given to it: "some text value" in the example. However, the parent is capturing all the standard output from the child, whether it came from an echo or not. That could be multiple lines separated by newlines $'\n'
