I built a hardware processor that runs Python
> I'm interested to see whether the final feature set will be larger than what you'd get by creating a type-safe language with a pythonic syntax and compiling that to native, rather than building custom hardware.
It almost sounds like you're asking for Nim ( https://nim-lang.org/ ); and there are some projects using it for microcontroller programming, since it compiles down to C (for ESP32, last I saw).

Transfinite Nim
FWIW, Nim (the programming language) is certainly interesting and possibly underrated.

Rust traits are a local maxima
With function overloading and templates
You just use a `hash` function in your library code and user has to implement a version of it that accepts the Foo type.
To resolve the scope problem, Nim uses templates[1] with `dirty` pragma (makes template unhygienic), but there is also a `mixin`[2] statement for later static binding.

My first experience with Gleam Language
Check out Nim[0] - it's strongly typed, with good type inference, clean elegant syntax, memory management is automatic (optional gc, default is ARC + small footprint cycle collector), compiles to small single binaries (Hello World is less than 100 kb), has powerful metaprogramming and lsp support.
Nim compiles to C/C++ and then to native code, so performance is on the same level as Rust/C/C++. You can also compile Nim to js/wasm and run the same code in the web.
