WordPress is already going through a measured factoring approach. Themes were ported over from a mishmash of procedural calls into the WP_Theme object in version 3.4. Posts (and pages, custom post types, etc) were ported over from an assoc

Considering Node can talk to MySQL - yes. Well, yes BUT. The "but" comes in when you talk about existing themes and plugins - some are much larger applications, and all are built in PHP. So to migrate, you'd need to reimplement both WordP

Code review is a part of the theme repository, if you're talking about themes hosted on WordPress.org. Themes hosted elsewhere (ThemeForest, GitHub, etc) have no such oversight. Themes hosted on WordPress.org (the official repository) ha

In most other languages, the second form makes more sense. But jQuery is doing things under the surface that make the syntax change inconsequential. In my performance tests (Win 8, Chrome 25), the chained method actually performed faster

I've posted a follow-up to this that broadens the ideas of Singletons for general PHP use. Using abstract classes and inheritance, it's also possible to unit test the code contained within a Singleton. The follow-up is here: http://news.
