    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 feel like a lot of people using WordPress solely for blogging can transfer to Jekyll or Hugo, and lose nothing. There’s a setup process involved, but you can’t get hacked with static pages.

      For the rest there’s always the far more top-heavy Drupal.

        It’s not the same but laravel is a neat dev platform as well. Lots of community made libraries and relatively drama free.

          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?
