I love php. I also love developing Wordpress themes and plugins. I'm not sure you're making a convincing argument.
Then again, Markdown would be neat to work with, but in the end I'd just rather use html if I need to markup something. And I do like trying new things.
- grin 13y agoPlenty of ways to try Markdown within Wordpress: http://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/markdown http://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/markdown
- kerryritter 13y agoAgreed. WordPress is hardly difficult to extend or build for.
- hugofirth 13y agoI develop with PHP regularly and absolutely love the strides the community has been making with Composer, the PSRs & frameworks like Laravel. I have also built tooling, plugins & themes for wordpress. I personally found it to be a frustrating experience: like I had been lobbed back to the days of PHP 4 when I thought all the PHP haters might have had a point (I wish to be emphatic - I don't think this anymore). From a development perspective: - The "loop" is bad design - with no regard for separation of concerns and maintainability. - The lack of namespacing means you have to go through a dance, working around Wordpress's idiosyncratic structure, in order to build around Wordpress effectively. - I personally don't think much of their documentation.
