PHP is a server-side language as you might now, so you are not replacing anything of it with Angular for the frontend, that's just an addition.

By "methods that don't depend on a state" I mean that you don't need an object. The point of objects is that they manage their own state, and you only need to worry about sending them messages. I agree that they are just

With these languages it always seems like first came the language, and then its users tried really hard to make sense of it. So now apparently enforcing contracts is not important anymore. "Let's just code!" - sigh

Static methods are not a hack, they are methods that don't depend on a state. I like how Rubyists/Pythonists jump to criticize Java, but they don't know the first thing about OOP. I don't even use Java but these critique

Yeah I guess you don't need OOP either then. Let's just program in Assembly.

I'm aware of that but that's what people call a hack, don't act like it's not. Python doesn't support abstract classes, period.

In python you don't even have abstract classes, and instead you have to use horrible hacks.

You can use Virwox, but it's a bit expensive unless you live in Argentina. If you happen to live in Argentina, you can get the cheapest BTC on the world by buying with your credit card in Virwox.

It doesn't have faster transaction times, only confirmations. Do you even know why confirmations take time? Security. Anyone who understands this new technology knows that Litecoin doesn't have any significant improvements over Bi
