I guess I should stop thinking of AppleScript in terms of Perl or C... :)
What you are thinking of is an osax, or scripting addition. These are event handlers which can call C/C++ or whatever. There is no generic "system" handler which compiles arbitrary C/C++ code, nor is there really a thing like this in other languages. The "system" call you are thinking about is more "do shell script" than anything else. This is how Java and Basic implement their "do shell script" equivalents.
