It might have better chances with some common language runtime, than declaring One True Language. No matter what language you pick or invent, it's gonna be hated by many. Intermediate representations? Sure, but much less so.
But you are absolutely right that clouds need a fundamentally different runtime, built on different ideas and principles - not virtual machines running containers pretending to be functions, all completely separate from resource declarations (which are in turn all individual nuanced messes).
