Hello. PHP is good. It is still far faster and easier to put together a website in PHP than any other language. It has enabled millions of people to become web developers. It powers about 90% of the web and best of all it offends language s

I said there are few absolutes, not that there are no absolutes :) `new Foo` has simpler semantics than `Object.create(FooProto)` and therefore I believe it will always be faster. That performance gap can of course narrow, but I think `new`
