Mobl - A new open source language for mobile devices

Another language to learn? What is the problem in using Phonegap to accomplish the same?

Generate your mobile web application using mobl. Then wrap it as a PhoneGap native app. They're complementary.

Did anyone try this; seems like a cool option?

I experimented with it. Works fine. There's an ongoing effort to also wrap the PhoneGap-specific APIs (such as camera, contacts) as mobl libraries: https://github.com/mobl/mobl-lib/tree/master/phonegap

You write mobl apps in just mobl. You don't write any css, js, or html. It compiles to those. Phonegap just deploys already written web apps.
