My problem is simply that we are too abstract
for my taste, yet. I'd like to build abstraction
with concrete implementation at the same time,
because I need a proof of concept, early.
What I need is one long line from the very upper
levels, which I like very much, down to the
primitive code that *really* implements it in
some way not les efficient that CPython.
I need t get my "environment definitions", to
be able to work on that ground level.

But I agree that we shouldn't stick with only
repeating CPython, so there is a need for
different abstraction levels, which are
maybe missing in the current picture.
