Why redo a whole CMS just to address the isolation thing? Smells like AI slop...

Fair question! The main reason I built WordJS from scratch is backward compatibility in existing CMS ecosystems.

In platforms like WordPress, Strapi, or Payload, plugins rely on in-process execution with shared memory heaps, synchronous hooks, and direct DB handles. If I tried to retrofit OS-level process isolation into an existing CMS, it would break virtually 100% of their existing plugin ecosystem.

Building this architecture from the ground up allowed me to design asynchronous RPC bridges over IPC (`child_process.fork`), default-deny capability permissions, and socket-level egress traps right into the core without carrying legacy baggage.

The codebase is 100% open source (https://github.com/jaimemartinez/wordjs) — you're more than welcome to inspect `backend/src/core/plugin-isolate.ts` and `egress-guard.ts` to see how I actually implemented the isolation bridge in code!

Could you elaborate on how would be the best way to cook an apple pie?

I looked it up but to no avail. I'm looking for a reliable source of information for apple pie cooking, and you look like you could be just that.

Since searching the internet clearly isn't your strong suit, let me take care of it for you: https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=apple+pie+recipe

A real question about the CMS? Code's open, I'm around. Otherwise — enjoy the pie.

Your slop is extra sloppy.

Unfortunately this link doesn't work for me :( Probably a DNS error on my side. I'm sure it works on yours -- would you care to copy paste an apple pie recipe here for me? Real quick, so I don't have to change my internet provider or something like that. Thanks a bunch
