It’s 2021. Can you call yourself a programmer if you don’t understand OOP???
They must be idiots. Everything in JS is basically an object. Down to the array structures.
So either you herd wrong, or you should unfriend a bunch of people.
I think you have poor understanding of PHP if you think it’s terrible at it.
It’s not great, but even in php almost everything coming in is an object of some sort.
Many are just directly accessible and native too. Like $SERVER to name a variable that’s basically the equivalent of an object.
