		Considering that WordPress is moving to Node and React, and that a massive amount of existing WP extensions make heap loads of money, can you see the upcoming opportunity? Quality React extensions for WP is going to become a massive market real soon. Are you going to jump on the boat?

Does Wordpress really move away from PHP/Mysql ? From what I read http://ma.tt/2015/11/dance-to-calypso/ it isn't very clear.

Seems to me like automatic have been working on a new Client/frontend written in JS with React components, the Server/Backend will still be powered by Wordpress written in PHP+MySQL.
