Isn't that more or less what RPython does? https://rpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/architecture.html I mean, I know that starting with a full-fledged(?) Py27 codebase rules out _actually_ using RPython for the stated goals of Grumpy, but I think the two projects agree in principle and differ about the definition of "restricted" :-)

RPython is a restricted (hence R) language specifically for VM development, it is not a general-purpose language.
