Spending the effort on a new framework à-la Etoys could be easier.
Also one could note that Etoys has been quite unsuccessful for large
acceptance in school. Educators here don't like it, they found it too
complicate and unwise to guide the user. I don't know why, but comparing
to how Scratch dealt with building script could give a few hints. Not to
mention the quality of the UI.

In France, Scratch is now cited as a one (preferred) tool to introduce
algorithme in senior high school, Etoys is just unvisible.
