The plugin security model in WordPress has been the elephant in the room for years. Any plugin can execute arbitrary PHP — there's no sandboxing, no permission system, nothing. It's wild that we accepted this for so long.
The Cloudflare Workers approach (V8 isolates) is fundamentally better because it enforces boundaries at the runtime level rather than relying on developer goodwill. Curious to see how they handle the migration path for existing WP sites though — that's where projects like this usually die.
