Umm, writing macros is all about that?

In the light of having the option to use Java (or scripting languages such
as Jython, JRuby, Clojure, Javascript or BeanShell, where you do not even
need to compile your script) with a wide range of third-party software to
do number crunching, I find it particularly cumbersome to convert your
data to a format suitable for Octave (or R), call an external program, and
then convert your data back.

Besides, ImageJ is platform independent due to Java being platform
independent, and requiring the user to have a certain program installed
limits the options.
