A couple of years ago, we moved off of wordpress precisely because it was written in php. Once you're trying to do anything reasonably complex in a CMS, the architecture and the programming language matter, because you have to extend the CMS in some manner. For us, wordpress wasn't extensible enough - and php wasn't pleasant enough - to justify continued use of it. I imagine people in a similar position who want to use Go would give this a serious look.
- jtreminio 11y agoDon't confuse Wordpress with how PHP can and should be written.
- m0th87 11y agoI'm not. We weren't fans of php either. Even if you buy into the philosophy that all languages are technically equal, that still doesn't make them pragmatically equal. It was probably our network, but we had a very hard time finding good php engineers, and a much easier time finding good python engineers. So that won.
