Wordpress is a pile of decades old php code* that is held together with string and tape pretty much.

• php isn’t the problem itself, modern php is actually pretty nice.

WordPress core is pretty wild. But modern WordPress isn’t working purely in that. The latest WP uses PHP primarily as a backend, and modern JS as a frontend and passing data through filters->DB.

I won’t call it elegant. But it’s not the PHP experience from five years ago.
