I think the fundamental question is: what real world problem is being solved by your idea?

Python evolved to solve certain problems in a certain manner in a given environment.

The BEAM with it’s process based nature approaches real world problems in a very different way - a way which is fundamentally at odds with the way libraries implemented in Python (and the lower level C code) operate.

Another Python integration technology which hasn’t been mentioned yet: [Pyrlang](https://pyrlang.github.io/Pyrlang/)
