There should be a dramatically faster, more accessible way to write applications.

You do realize this is the holy grail of software development? The thing we've been seeking since, oh, at least the mid 1950s.[1] Pretty ambitious to think you'll crack the nut, at least more than momentarily.

Is it not a rule that a novel application will break the paradigm that other applications follow and hence leak out of the abstractions that allow the traditional application to be written quickly?

Copying is dramatically faster than doing something new.
