To make, say, a Python machine fast, you'd have to optimize the hell
out of the architecture, probably all the way down to the microcode
level.  Thus, a hypothetical hardware-based Python machine would look
very little like other, more conventional chips like x86 or ARM, for
instance.  In fact, I suspect it'd look a lot like the CPython virtual
machine on an instruction level.
