I would love a version of WP hybridized with Laravel. I briefly attempted it with CodeIgniter, but it proved non-trivial and I didn't have the time to see it through.
For all of WP's countless problems and general ickiness, it delivers what it strives for extremely well. The real strength is the ecosystem of plugins and themes, and the balance it strikes in being dev-capable while exposing a lot of "prosumer" functionality to end users who are computer-savvy, but not developers. (Of course, the plugins are a two-edged sword, given how many of them carry security vulnerabilities.)
Thanks for the hat-tip of VersionPress and Thermal. I like the idea of using WP only for its admin, and I've done it a couple times before, albeit using custom queries to fetch data manually.

It is rather non-trivial, and we're not sure how far we'll be able to take it, but I'm very happy that my work is happy to finance this sort of hacking. We've got a "LaravelInjector" plugin for Wordpress, that allows you to have Laravel and Wordpress answering to the same url (a Laravel route is tried first, then Wordpress' "routing" system kicks in). We'll be open sourcing both of these systems in the very near future[0]. I hang around #wordpress on Freenode, so you'll see me in there if you're interested in chatting about it :) [0] https://github.com/JuniorCru https://github.com/JuniorCru
