At first you idea to replace EVM seemed to me very ambitios, cause it rises the cost of porting dapps from ETH, but then I imagined how would the platforms comparison look like:

Classic

Language: Java
Execution expenses: 1/10 ETH

ETH

Language: Solidity, Serpent... WTF!? Javascript? OMG! No way.
Execution expenses: 10x ETC

Classic wins and ETH looks like a hackers club for enthusiasts. Java has many tools for writing code, there are many experienced developers and also it is widely used in fintech and banks. I don't comment on ADA, cause know nothing.
