> WP internals being PHP... I think you get the idea. Who's to say after they have established a foothold they won't push to run WP on the v8 engine and write out PHP, a language they're actively hostile to?
The thing is that there would be no point in doing so (which, admittedly, hasn't stopped Google before).
Right now Google needs WordPress. Without WordPress, where is Google going to place ad spots? Facebook? And WordPress has PHP as a massive underestimated advantage - every Tom, Dick and Harry can spend 5 minutes to install WordPress on a $5 a month shared-hosting plan, something no Ruby/Rust/Go/Java/C++/Node/Erlang/Fashionable-Language-Of-The-Week can do.
