WordPress has become my favorite platform for building websites. The software is so robust and the ecosystem of themes and plugins so rich - I find it's really conducive to productivity.
That's why I decided to port Try Arc to WordPress. I think it will make the codebase more maintainable, and help me to get features & fixes out faster.
If you're curious, the Arc web server is still in play here. But now rather than the whole site being hosted that way, only the REPL is (the only component that needs to be). The rest of the site is served from a separate Apache instance; it gives way to the REPL through a simple IFrame in a WordPress page template.
