The dire state of WordPress

Here's a pretty fascinating post on WordPress.  It's the backbone to 17.4% of the sites in the world, and its structure is weird.  Semantically, in other words, its concepts map poorly onto what they're being asked to do.

Which makes me ask: what would a ... "concept mapper" look like that could look at a WP site, map it back and forth onto what it's doing, and allow people to work with it more rationally?  In other words, treat the WP site as the compiler target, and allow people to write higher-level things and compile them into WordPress.

Think on that.
