Is there a way to implement a commenting system such as that on medium or sitepoint in WP?

I don’t know Medium.com but sitepoint.com use WordPress so the answer to your question is quiet obvious: YES, there is a way to implement that in wordpress. You should make other types of questions.

I think this the implementation used by sitepoint is here: https://github.com/sitepoint/highlight-wordpress
