Good question. I agree that endless muddling has shown remarkable mileage. liballocs is not quite there yet, but is progressing (er, when I get time, which is not often enough). Beyond that, adoption is cultural. We need to build a killer "added value" in one environment which makes enough waves that everyone else wants it. We're creeping closer... with Guillaume Bertholon we have made an initial "FFI-less" for CPython which I think could be the beginnings of that kind of killer addition. You might like to read our workshop paper about that, which I've just made available: https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/srk21/#vmil19 https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/srk21/#vmil19
