Re: [dcphp-dev] WordPress Calypso

Probably also wanted some realtime socket communication. And PHP -- ReactPHP and Ratchet not withstanding -- isn't a great language / interpreter for that. YMMV.

One of the really attractive things about JS right now is the ability to build isomorphic apps, like calypso, that can run in the browser and on the desktop and on a server. It's a sign of things to come. PHP's real strength is on the server handling requests, there's just more overhead to doing this properly in node. We're in the process with our platform right now of creating a rich JS app that can run in browser, mobile, or as a native desktop app (they're coming back! XD), but the back end APIs will remain PHP.

As a devoted and happy node.js developer, I still believe that PHP is the ideal language for web services. I see it being less and less relevant in UI development, though, in the future. :)

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.

Hey all --

Since WordPress is such a big part of the PHP ecosystem, curious what peoples' thoughts are on their move towards Node/React:
