A factor is probably that Dota was originally a warcraft map, and it was/still is most popular in China, almost at the level of starcraft in Korea.

Disclaimer: I am surely not experienced enough to give a highly informed opinion on the topic. As I mention in the opening I do not think there is a strong dichotomy between functional and OO programming. I believe historical accident creat

Of course I intended to do so but his idea of opening an HN thread (see above) is much better :)

If you could send me an email (in my profile) I'd love to get a comment on my ideas about the relationship between functional and OO. Or you can post your own email and I will write you.

That would be a very interesting opinion. Where could this discussion be arranged?

Which reminds me of TED talks which are pinnacle of "fakeness" and bullshit in our society. Well, most of them at least.

"Fail Fast" is a pretty popular best-practice and failing immediately on a mismatched type hint is in line with that.

I didn't understand why the remark was there at all. Honestly | reminds me of sum types and it's the perfect choice here.

But honestly with the shorter syntax it feels much more natural, compared to the weird "list" construct. Just an opinion though.

Even if you have a point it wouldn't matter because making void functions return something else than null would be a big (useless) BC break. There's a lot of code that uses "return;" to mean "return null;" and

And Magento is slow for a whole lot of reasons, nine of which are related to symfony.

+1 for symfony being the perfect example if you're looking for a completely decoupled framework.

If only it could be offered in my small country too! I hate how these services and the record labels think only about the US/their country. For example one of my favourite bands is Italian and apparently most of their older music is bl

PHP also doesn't capture variables by default (except $this) and i like it that way.

Although I agree with you I would take note that Naples being a Greek colony and Rome an Etruscan colony do not have much to do with differences in pizza matters. Those societies and the appearance of pizza have a couple of millenia between

I confirm that commas are much more common in Italian than in English.

It runs a bit faster because of wordpress? :) Assuming you were answering to your GP, modern PHP is a totally fine language to program in with a lot of upsides (that would take too muh to enumerate here).
