I'd especially love that for eCommerce systems as well. They require a bit more of a commitment than a CMS (at least that is the usual case). Right now, the only mature ones I know of are all PHP based :/.. I hope that's just me missing something though.

Not really. At least e-commerce has a pretty capable incumbent (Shopify). CMS is an interesting case, though. There are 4-5 companies trying to take on WordPress. I could go with the incumbent, but I'd love -- LOVE -- some real dev reviews of that stuff. Like, where's the fucking unboxing video for developer software?

  Can you mention which 4-5 companies you think are doing a good job of taking on WordPress? I can only think of one or two, off the top of my head.

    Maybe "doing a good job" is an overstatement at this time. These companies seem to be taking shots at the CMS component of Wordpress: https://www.contentful.com https://www.contentful.com https://prismic.io https://prismic.io http://osmek.com/ http://osmek.com/ https://buildwithcraft.com https://buildwithcraft.com

The top three ecommerce platforms are all Java based (hybris, Oracle ATG and IBM Websphere) and there are a ton of "tier 2" platforms that are cover the .net and PHP stacks. The tier 1 systems will cost you a significant amount of money to get up and running though (over a million $ is not uncommon). If you only know of the PHP platforms then I guess you don't play at any significant level in the industry (like most people on HN). This is actually a candidate for shit hn says.
