sniuff is right, Drupal is all PHP, through and through.

As for Wordpress's alleged speed problems, I haven't had any trouble. The speed of development for WP is way ahead of that for Drupal, in my experience at least, to the point where I just refuse to work on Drupal installations and convert them over to WP as a first step.

I worked for a mob that only used Drupal. I'm one of those weirdos that actually likes modern PHP, but I didn't last long there. In my opinion nearly anything else is preferable to clicking through that damned GUI to get it to do what I want without hacking the core or messing with those damned hooks. I mean, check our changes into git? Why would we want to do that? :<

It does not support caching out of the box and MySQL has, for a long time, had poor behaviour for workloads involving tables with TEXT fields.

By the way, learn about db-error.php. Might as well never have a problem in style.

Thanks for the correction!
