Stop! Or I am writing another framework!
There is a small dwarf in my head that whispers about persistent binary trees and RESTful services, views using DSL and JSON data interchange.
In other words, I really want to write NCouchDB. I had the exact same thing happening with queuing, and it didn't stop until I wrote Rhino Queues (five or six times!)
I keep trying to justify to myself that this is needed. But I already busy over my head. Please, help me stop this, before I lose all control.

Small dwarf? Redundancy? If he's in your head why is he whispering? And how do dwarves know what DSLs and JSON are?
Wait - is there really a dwarf in your head...! If there is, I think you just speak elvish to it and it will banish him to the lake of fire.
Not. Invented. Here! :-D
If it weren't for the proven existence of diagnosable Hanselmania I'd say a couple of infants in the next room would cure you overnight...
The guys from x-tensive are already on that path with DataObjects 4 (not finished yet)

As CouchDB can be accessed with REST/JSON interface, is there any gain in re-implementing it instead of just using it? Hou have to talk to the little dwarf, maybe you should become a voice in his head?
But, putting all aside, you have done magnificent work with some tools, especially those boo-based. I'd be very happy to see some web application framework contrarian to what Microsoft is doing. I mean something lightweight, scriptable, dynamic and simple but powerful at the same time. And without hundred layers of API-obstacles. What's it called- frictionless? Talk to your dwarf.
Why on earth would anyone want to stop you producing something as useful-sounding as that? So long as you release NHProf first, of course ;-)
Main point of doing this is that I don't really want to deal with Erlang, or the way you work with it.
That is leaving aside the fact that for CouchDB support for windows isn't really that good currently.

Stop whining already - again - and just do it. What do you want? Adoring fans approval?
I find myself extremely temped by the exact same thought.
