Use Elixir to create the next Wordpress?

Yes. Unless we get a hard sandbox for the BEAM VM then I don’t think such efforts will ever go anywhere.

Of course there are other options like just use a Lua engine to program plugins but then the single language paradigm of such platforms goes down the drain and you might as well not use a BEAM language at all.

I am sure there are ways around it but it’s probably too hard to be worth it.
