If your problem is with the runtime cost of python, do consider transpilers such as py2many that generate rust code.

In order for this to succeed, python libraries would have to be rewritten without the C API in the dialect/subset of python supported.

I wonder if erg could strive to use a subset of python mostly and innovate narrowly in just a couple of places to make python more functional.
