In the sense that OOP is often used in very stupid ways (dunno about C++ but in other languages, have a look at PHPUnit it is the best example of misunderstood OOP) I can understand C programmers. Golang is also very simple for a reason
My favorite:
- Procedural PHP / static calls
- Lightweight NoSQL DBAL (I use MongoDB under the hood but any key/value store would do)
- Vanilla JS on the Client
- Plain CSS witout preprocessors
Since I do a lot of JS on the client I am quite happy not to have it on the server as well - also I dont like that npm madness / complex infrastructure around it.
(so much about free will / organzing)
