As someone who has been studying Elixir and Phoenix lately, This is pretty
neat.

There have definitely been some pieces of my Python projects that could have
benefited from a
Functional structure.

I don't think writing an entire project in Cocounut would be worth while. At
that point, why not use an actual FP language? However, I do think it sounds
useful for when certain parts of a project could be cleaned up
or optimized with functional code. Almost like a better `functools`.

All that said though, I am interested to see performance metrics for the
transpiled python.
