Is it possible to create a multiple-level (nested) multisite setup with Drupal?

I am looking for to have a separate site for: example.com/, example.com/a, example.com/b, example.com/a/123, example.com/a/234?

If not drupal, is there an alternative (wordpress plugin?) to achieve the same?

Yes, possible. https://www.drupal.org/node/2297419

Yes, I have seen that, but it is not clear to me whether that allows multiple levels and/or nested multisites.

This is probably easier to maintain (code wise) using different root folders, but configuring the http output folder within apache or nginx configuration.

Kudos for the reboot. I haven't touched Drupal in maybe 7 years, but I gather it must be orders of magnitude easier now to develop a site with modern software engineering tools than it was then.

However, this reasoning feels wrong:

If we were to ignore these market forces, Drupal would be caught flat-footed and quickly become irrelevant.

Wordpress is still the same big ball of mud it was 10 years ago and it powers 1/4 of the internet.

Drupal 6 was an exciting time for them. I wonder if they manage to rewrite all those plugins for the Drupal 8 release. I certainly hope so.

It's been in the making a long long time. I guess I will have to give this a spin.

Pretty much everything under the hood has been rewritten. It is a very different CMS than D6/7 was. Whether or not all those changes are for the better, is up to you to decide.
