Observed "in the wild":

C » C++

C++ » C++ w. STL

C++ » C#

VB » VB.NET

WinForms » WPF » Silverlight » UWP

Edited to add:

Java EJBs » Java Servlets » Java Spring

C++ » Java » C#

You're describing switching to a different language. There's plenty of that going around no matter what language you're using. But I don't recall once seeing anyone decide to rewrite something in the equivalent of a different C "framework". There's certainly a lot less of that outside of frontend development.

That's because if you want to write for the Web Platform, you haven't been able to switch languages; you were largely stuck with JavaScript for decades.

Contrast that to writing for the Windows Platform--you could easily choose one of many languages.

Several of the examples I listed are frameworks or the equivalent.
