It was interesting to hear that Laravel, Drupal, Wordpress and Symfony communities do not mesh. I wonder why.

The Wordpress community doesn't even mesh with the Wordpress community, let alone any other ones.

Wordpress is old school. The PHP of Laravel and Symfony is light years ahead of the stuff in Wordpress.

Maybe they need to stay close to the metal based on the performance they need?
