I can't find anything about this, however I will say that _the_ reason
why Wordpress is as ubiquitous as it has been is because:
* It's easy to use, but possibly more importantly...
* The backend is entirely written in PHP
Specifically #2 has allowed it to proliferate on cheap shared hosting
sites that still today mostly only allow PHP. If you want to run
NodeJS, Ruby, or other backends, you're generally limited to more
expensive hosts for that such as Heroku or just running it yourself on
a VPS. But those options are never going to be as easy as clicking
"Install Wordpress" on a cPanel host that costs $2/month.
_If_ wordpress does migrate away from PHP, I'd imagine someone or a
group of people will come along to fork the last pure PHP version and
"the community" will largely continue on with that fork, rather than
"upgrading" to the non-PHP version.

I, personally, don't like JS -- and I am frustrated how more and
more of Web 3.0 or whatever version they say were on now is wholly
dependent on JS.
I think XKCD nailed it on the head, as they most often do ...

Had not thought of a fork.... nice idea.
As for JS I assume that mean most of the processing has to be done in
the browser which means everything needs to travel from the server to
the browser?
Am I right on this? If I am that does not sound good.

Hi,
I read that WordPress is on a 10 year plan to move away from PHP
and
become all JavaScript.
Anyone aware of this?
