Ok I'm bought in, where do I sign up to make this problem go away?

We need a different kind of optimizing compiler to collapse layers but oops we don't have semantics...
I starts to look like there is just no solution to the pile-on, apart from throwing things out and rebuilding. But who has time for that? I am not an optimist.
Abstraction is good. Tucking stuff away behind layers of impenetrable operational semantics is not.

You mean a compiler that handles the different serialization / deserialization between data formats?

That would be part of what it produces, yes, but my point is more that this is virtually impossible because there is no real definition of what the layers mean such that a compiler can use this meaning to mechanize code generation.
