In reply to mark k..

I have done some reading up on the subject and I think it is nothing more and nothing less than a way for Google to compete with Facebook and Apple.
AMP seems only useful to/for large news sites, and I think that the only reason many are getting so excited is, because it's open source.

Now I like to serve static content and software focusing on making it possible to serve WordPress statically is super interesting, I think. Not buying into this AMP thing though.
