urweb is nice, and it shines if you use it in its solution space.
However real world applications also need

That sounds like an Ur/Web feature request, not a reason for a new language!

(Yes, I know I could reimplement mysql access using C bindings, but
why?)
This, too, though probably I'd be less likely to implement it myself.
(I'd be happy to accept a reasonable patch, though.)
Vladimir Shabanov is combining Haskell and Ur/Web to good effect at
bazqux.com, BTW.
But why stop here? Why not allow to instantiate such a BinarySearchTree
by telling the compile
- which memory management to use
- which target language
- ..
These other ideas are too nebulous to me, to allow me to make any kind
of judgment about how much sense they make. I think I personally
wouldn't have the energy to get much involved in such a project in the
near future, but I'd certainly be interested to watch any progress.
My research group does have some ongoing work on creating tools to make
it easier to implement fancy languages like Ur/Web, and I would hope
those tools will some day make a good starting point for project(s) like
you propose!
