There are all sorts of issues in trying to come up with a single abstraction for multiple platforms. It's an impedance mismatch problem, there is no single best solution. I like where cosmo is putting effort. The self-hosting toolchain and build system for example. That was always a knowledge barrier for me (I'm a webdeveloper, I know nothing). Personally, it was so different and shocking, that I started to understand a lot of things by the contrast it created with other code. Cosmos's Makefiles were different, the linker was being used in a way that made me notice it as a distinct part of the toolchain, the demos actually worked, etc. It made me interested in that stuff, made it more acessible.
