This comment is 10x more useful than your website. I'd suggest moving most of this copy onto the site just in a better format.

Google made $280B in revenue in 2022 which means this article is claiming that at least 1/3 of it (since they said over $92B) is coming from Android only.
Does that align?

You are missing a few things about the Ruby based CLI:
1. dependencies for Gems are specified in the gemspec file and not the Gemfile. See https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-cli/blob/main/shopify-cli... for example. There's a few non-development dependencies.
2. since it's difficult to package up a Ruby gem for distribution, maybe dependencies were vendored directly in the codebase: https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-cli/tree/main/vendor
This isn't meant to be a comparison of the number of dependencies or anything. Just pointing out a few nuances to how the Ruby dependencies were handled.

This is an editorialized title. Bloomberg's is "Shopify Tells Employees to Just Say No to Meetings"

I'd guess very hard. But just refactoring the WordPress codebase isn't enough, you'd ideally want every plugin to adopt the new API as well... Although you could always keep this implementation as the fallback behaviour.

I'm highly in favour of this, but wanted to point out an important implementation detail in case people don't want to look through the code.
Since WordPress doesn't have a database abstraction, SQLite integration is done by transforming the SQL query strings meant for MySQL. This not only means doing regexp matches with string replacement, but trying to emulate MySQL functions with either SQLite equivalents, or in the worst case, in PHP application code.

There's an existing WP "drop-in" plugin that can be used with Composer: https://github.com/aaemnnosttv/wp-sqlite-db
Using that + a WP composer package (like https://packagist.org/packages/roots/wordpress) is much easier to maintain that a full "fork" of WP.
