Heard an amazing rumor from a trusted source yesterday: after 10+ years on PHP, Automattic is looking at porting WordPress to Node.js. No joke. Whoa.

@schnarfed not sure what to think of this. On one hand it might push more webhosts to support “anything other than PHP” which would be great, on the other hand it’s probably going to add to the oft-parroted nonsense that PHP is inherently a bad language.
