    Despite Calypso being only (for now) for WordPress.com, in the long run how will it affect Studiopress and Genesis child theme developers and users?

    Do a google search for Calypso WordPress if you don't know what I'm talking about...

    Calypso will also work on your self hosted WordPress sites as well as long as you have JetPack and the Manage module activated.

    It basically is an alternative to using the WP Admin dashboard instead the new javascript Rest API, so you can edit posts and pages, switch themes, activate plugins etc

    StudioPress themes and other theme developers will still continue to develop themes in the normal way. As long as there is a design presentation layer needed be it via a browser or an app we still need that originality to get that brand and look across.

    OK I understand that part, and thank you; but what will it mean for people like me as far as producing and editing a theme, using php etc... will be still be using the same skills to help make and customize the theme like utilizing php, html, css?

    I read somewhere that developers will need to not use php or as much php and learn node.js.....is this part true? Another

    language to learn for developers??

    PHP is not going away anytime soon, what is on the rise and predicted to be used more so in the future is more JavaScript, in particular for backend APIs.

    So there has been a call to developers to get to grips more with the language.
