"[PHP] - had a functional nature which is easier to learn than the object-oriented programming"<p>This is the first time I've ever heard of PHP (in the early 2000s especially) called functional. And the first time I've heard functional programming called easier than OO! I can only assume OP means something else.<p>The article is full of typos, spelling mistakes, and weird not-quite comparisons (claiming:<p>echo 'hi';<p>and<p>console.log('hi')<p>are equivalent.<p>Weird. Not quite sure who the intended audience is.
