Interesting discussion between Matt Mullenweg (Wordpress, Automattic) and David Heinemeier Hansson (Ruby on Rails, Basecamp) discuss Wordpress market share, monopolies and power in OSS - I think Wordpress is phenomenal software, I would love to build websites using Wordpress, but it’s written in PHP and I’m a NodeJS guy, I think it would be pretty rad if Automattic built a Wordpress entirely in Ruby and also of course one in NodeJS - forget or perhaps de-focus market dominance and help build out the entire web ecosystem - How can some of us non-PHP developers benefit from all the knowledge they have accumulated building Wordpress?wptavern.com #
