It would be interesting if someone ripped out the php/js for the gutenberg editor from wordpress as a compiled .net core wysiwyg-block-based editor for use in other .net core projects.

It would be amazing if they rewrote wordpress in C# using modern design patterns.

Decompile the resulting library and start refactoring and adding comments?

We were so preoccupied with whether or not we could, we didn't stop to think if we should.

You could take “C#” out of that sentence and still be accurate.

Wordpress is not and I imagine never will be anywhere close to “modern design patterns”.

It’s not even close to old design patterns, unless Heinz has a namesake software design pattern.

Wordpress uses practices that were considered a bad idea a decade or more ago, and still refuses to change.

Reminds me of 'Phuby on Phails', Ruby on Rails in PHP...just because. I think the WTFF is about the same (off the charts).

Why would you start with a decompiled binary when the source code is available?

Do you have any examples of the bad practices you are referring to?
