    I believe that in the back-end world, the benefit of a
    Class is virtually zero. Once you start getting tens of
    thousands of requests per second, your code is just
    literally creating and destroying object at each
    request...For what? Because you are used to coding this
    way? Seems like a big waste of resources to me.

I wanna hear more about this magical language where arrays & hash tables aren't also being "created and destroyed at every request".

It's certainly possible to have code that's slow because it's using too many objects, but it's equally possible to write functional code that blows the stack because a change made tail-call optimization not happen.

I couldn't agree with you more.
