Hi everyone,
I'm wordpress developer for about 4 years. I really enjoy using it and I believe that we as a community could bring it to completely different and what is more important higher level. The main idea of wordpress was to keep it simple and fast. However if anybody who is reading this was building website that will contain big number of posts, media, plugins etc probably force with problem of low performance of whole backend, and core stuff. In my opinion it is not problem with php performance, it is awsome programming language (and can be better now with Facebook hhvm). But let's keep it simple, it would take a lot of time to rewrite whole wordpress to some other programming language.
I think it is time for creating wordpress fork, that will merge core with some functionalities(that are currently brought by plugins), make things little bit more simple, object-oriented if needed, more flexible, and without weird 'junk' staff: legacy of earlier versions. Also I think that we could use js framework like angularjs for backend to make things even more fluid.
I really would love to make a team of developers, and create wordpress fork.
What you think about it guys? What's your ideas? Who is with me ? :)
