I haven't read the Tezos paper yet but I will add it to my reading list. Thanks! I do think there is a lot of potential room for improvement in how blockchain governance works, especially in terms of delegate voting. Maybe it is more r

If there is shown to be a demand for this kind of terminal UX, someone may well write a native version of it. Possibly it will push some of the existing terminal emulator projects to add new features, or someone will fork one of them. Eithe

BEAM wasn't designed for OO languages where all values are mutable objects. It would be highly impractical to try to run Python on top of it. You'd have to create a Frankenstein interpreter to get anything working.
