Another poor bastard with its head in the clouds... the reason PHP is so popular is because it's easy to lock down for a webhost that wants to isolate its users from each other. You can't do that easily with a general purpose language that can easily do a lot more; and for 99.999% of the time you use a webhost, you shouldn't be, and they
don't want you to, do anything other than generate webpages.

They are equivalent to a struct/class and a function pointer, and if you were using something like C/C++ you would not (or should not) indiscriminately create dozens of those.
Map is the most natural thing to use in the world, but enjoy your for (_;_;_) {} loops forever.
Loops are more explicit, easier to understand, and are always inline (like they should be; they have practically 0 overhead and calling a function that just loops, which is what a map is doing, is needless overcomplication.)
