>It should still be possible to build something like this. It would just be inconvenient.

Inconvenient is quite the understatement. Designing and implementing something like this for each and every language compiler/runtime requires hugely more effort than doing it on the OS level. The likelihood of mistakes is also far greater.

Perhaps it's worth exploring whether it can be done on the LLVM level so that at least some languages can share an implementation.
