Could you build this?
No Building a sandboxed multi-language embedded runtime inside the BEAM with strict memory, CPU, and process-level isolation requires deep systems engineering in Elixir and C/Rust.
What it would actually take: The system requires advanced Elixir/BEAM architectural knowledge to construct custom GenServer supervision trees and bridge Lua securely via NIFs (e.g., Luerl or Rustler-wrapped Lua engines) with enforced OS-level and virtual machine memory/cycle constraints. It requires specialized expertise in interpreter sandboxing, memory boundary enforcement, and safe runtime telemetry.
