In reply to Hashim Warren.

The idea of merging the world of static site generators and WordPress is appealing on many levels, and this development is refreshing. However, what you described are serious limitations, and also a huge amount of plugins would be incompatible with this approach.

That’s why we created Strattic: it allows you to use WordPress as usual, no change in behavior, and we’re not tossing PHP out the door. But the production site on the live domain is generated as a static site so you also get all the benefits of a fast, very secure static site. (Plus a CDN, plus SSL for all, and more.)

In any case, all these efforts contribute to bringing WP more in line with modern web development approaches, and it’s great. Looking forward to seeing where this project goes!
