I've thought about this before, and I'm betting that a large portion of the developers on HN have too. For me it always comes back to the fact that any new language, framework, or SDK on top of an old one simply fragments the industry even more. When 10 developers come up with 10 different abstractions of 3 frameworks, you get the exact opposite of what you are trying to accomplish.

If you want everyone to use the same framework, then my advice - though somewhat impractical - is to use it, advocate for it, and contribute to the community.

This approach really does away with those issues. At any point a developer can utilize any language or framework they like. The top level language and framework translates to any supported language and framework.

In fact, this reduces fragmentation considerably. (And there is already a community utilizing the pre-cursor to this language.)
