Man, this meltdown just keeps fucking going, doesn’t it. Every time I think Mullenweg has finally settled down, he does something else incredibly dumb.
Sad part is that he’s likely to get away with this pne since it’s not effecting a company with enough money to make it a legal battle.
This will not kill Wordpress outright but it might very well significantly factor into the decision of every future person deciding if they should write a plugin to support Wordpress or some alternative CMS or if they should host a Wordpress instance or something else, especially companies offering commercial hosting.
It might even lead to a project or two that will eventually replace Wordpress in its dominant position.
I program a lot with both wp and laravel over the last years. Not sure what I want to say other than they are cool but different vibes and skills.
Wp can be used out in the box by almost anyone who is web savvy; laravel is always needing some assembly, at the least, so the entry there is programming or deep pockets to pay that.
Wp community and sites is probably a thousand times larger than laravel?

Classic Press is a fork of WordPress that leaves out Gutenberg and has all the legacy PHP < 7.4 stuff stripped out. It’s nice.

Huh, this actually looks very promising.
It’s not the same but laravel is a neat dev platform as well. Lots of community made libraries and relatively drama free.
