This is why transpilers exist.

py2many can compile static python to mojo, apart from rust and golang.

Is it comprehensive? No. But it's deterministic. In the age of LLMs, with sufficient GPU you can either:

  * Get the LLM to enhance the transpiler to cover more of the language/stdlib
  * Accept the non-determinism for the hard cases
The way mojo solves it is by stuffing two languages into one. There are two ways to write a function for example.

I don't think the cost imposed by a transpiler is worse. In fact, it gets better over time. As the transpiler improves, you stop thinking about the generated code.
