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.
