Re: [dcphp-dev] WordPress Calypso

It's an enterprisey thing to do, but then wordpress.com is an enterprise and functions at that scale. Though it seems like Node does very little here, so I'm not sure why they went that route instead of PHP 5.6, which is very fast, especially since 7 will be even faster. Not like V8 is slow, but it's one less technology stack.

I doubt .org will ever see it integrated beyond as an optional extension to Jetpack, since the whole point of WP staying on ancient versions of PHP is that it's meant to be a dead-simple install on any host, and node is anything but a simple install on any host.
