I wouldn't compare the two... I'm not using deprecated stuff (although
it might be someday :() mainly just saying while everyone has been
extending PHP into Java-land, JSON-esque short arrays, lots more OO
fun, namespaces, etc... I could still code anything out of the box
with procedural PHP 5.2.x for the most part (with only a couple
function and parameter additions added in 5.3/5.4)
I've never had any APC issues - whereas OO code has had odd
incompatibilities, and IMHO the obsession with OO has introduced more
complexity into the language and everything related to it. Not the
popular opinion I know, but that's what open source is all about,
right?
