- bdcravens 11y agoThat's interesting, because Matt Mullenweg, one of Wordpress's cofounders and original author, said that if he rewrote Wordpress today, he'd choose Go: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jg781/i_am_matt_mullenweg_cofounder_of_wordpress_18_of/cbed1jk https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jg781/i_am_matt_mull...
- kijin 11y agoWordPress written in Go might be okay for the hosted version at WordPress.com, but it would have a lot of difficulty achieving the kind of market share that the self-hosted PHP version enjoys. I can't imagine Dreamhost et al. being happy with people recompiling WordPress Go on their platforms all the time.
