I find it very strange that nobody includes, y'know, Wikipedia in these kinds of conversations. Don't you think Wikipedia is more important than Facebook and Wordpress? As a person involved in mainstream Internet adoption, I consider it as important as the Internet in establishing free, participatory hypertext information. In addition to the fact people now assume they can just find something out without commercial supplication, all the major Internet media companies and pretty much the modern field of AI depend on the knowledge it provides. Yes, "most people" may not know it's participatory / non commercial / that search results are largely based on it / that you can download all its content and tools and run your own. It still is. Anyway, Wikipedia is mainly written in PHP and uses MySQL. But past this point, if we are talking about decentralized peer to peer systems, something based on Javascript that runs entirely in the browser is the real gold standard, at least until a protocol-based network breaks through.
