PHP for the longest time wasn't OOP at all and most of it really isn't. An awful lot of what you do with PHP has nothing to do with OOP at all.

- TazeTSchnitzel 13y agoI am aware. I use it as an example because plenty of good API designs for it that could've made it in did not because of "OOP shouldn't be used by beginners". The PHP community is unreasonably scared of OOP.
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoWhy do you put avoidance of OOP down to fear? Maybe it's down to an understanding that OOP is often overused and should not be the paradigm-by-default. Disclaimer: I don't actually know what the cause is in this case, nor do I think that OOP should always be avoided.
