A good goal indeed, though one should remember that contrary to Wordpress the 
realtime/push nature of StatusNet implies some nastier background processing.

Nevertheless I believe using activitystreams as a base level would help 
regardless of language.

A lot of work aligned with this was already put into this by StatusNet Inc. 
when implementing OStatus and AtomPub. The parts I think should be modified are 
some "core" functionality (that should actually just be Activities), such as 
notes (notices), favorites, shares (repeats) and such.

They can even be brought out from core and put into plugins. Making it easier 
to extend and modify. (something I prefer and thus would argue is better than 
to maintain backwards compatibility with many unused plugins)
