Coalton: Why is the interop not easier, and why might it be necessary for Coalton to be an entire language in itself?

If you came here searching for the context in which some reddit comments were written, you might want to check out this previous version of the article.

Several blog posts have been written about Coalton, about how it can be useful and what it brings to the table. However, to me, it hasn’t been clear why Coalton is the way to solve the problems that it does solve. Isn’t a simpler solution possible without making a full embedded language, and giving users the cognitive overhead of thinking about interop between normal lisp and coalton?

I have been thinking about this for a while as one of my pasttimes, and below I’ll summarize the better reasons why coalton might be the way it is. Perhaps, I couldn’t se
