Had WordPress been written in Java

As a Java Developer, I do wish WordPress was built on Java, it would have given

1. Java applications a web flair, we would have to see all together new set of applications /widgets/ plugins.

2. Designers would have not been scared of the language at all.

3. Applications could have used the WordPress database, which has a very simple schema.

WordPress And Java Together

Resin Quercus

Resin is a Java Application server, but with a twist, it has a Quercus engine which allow PHP applications to installed as Java applications.

What does this mean, if a WordPress can be installed on Resin will run as a Java application and also take advantage of libraries like Spring, Hibernate,SOA.

Also, will definitely perform way better as it will be compiled only once and not be interpreted with every request like it does now

To have this integration working has its own challenges but good news is there is a way.

Summary

While WordPress has it own niche, creating CMS websites with blog functionality, it is the DeFacto Platform.

But when it comes to creating highly scalable enterprise Applications Java is the DeFacto Platform.
