I have many many lines of code for to introduce in TM, but I am worried about the fact that many of them will be impossible since TM does not preserve states and always depends on external commands and not have an internal interpreter. This is a very deep limitation, you must agree with me.
No sorry, I don't. Partly because I don't understand exactly what you mean by built-in interpreter, and partly because I have found TM very extensible in many ways and there are very few things that find it limiting in. Using external commands has worked great for me because I can code in whatever scripting language I like, rather than be forced to use whatever language the author decided to have the built- in interpreter in. That's one of the reasons I gave up on emacs.
I think however that there are a lot of things that can be done with TM as it is, and if there is something you think can't be done, then ask the list and perhaps we'll have some ideas about how to do it. If it really can't be done with things as is, and you have a good case for the need for this feature, then your feature request might make it into TM releases sooner than not.
