As far as I am aware, nobody is arguing to do so.

You can equally well, better even (which is my point) layer your
favorite programming langauge on top of the tla program rather than
the libarch api.

I've previously mentioned may reasons why it is better to layer on tla
rather than libarch -- is it really necessary to repeat them?

Which has nothing at all to do with binding at the libarch vs. tla
level.
