Thanks — appreciate it!

Good question. In theory, you can compile anything Turing-complete to anything else — ARM and Python are both Turing-complete. But practically, Python's model (dynamic typing, deep use of the stack) doesn't map cleanly onto ARM's register-based, statically-typed instruction set. PySM is designed to match Python’s structure much more naturally — it keeps the system efficient, simpler to pipeline, and avoids needing lots of extra translation layers.
