WordPress is JavaScript

" summary

Claims that WordPress “is JavaScript” get grounded: WordPress remains PHP at core but ships a REST API in core that enables external apps, measures adoption at 31% of major websites, and prototypes a new editor built as Gutenberg blocks using React behind safe wrappers. The project uses webpack, creates fallback globals so no build step is required, navigates React relicensing, and ships as a plugin while the community tests whether the block model and abstractions actually work at scale.
