JavaScript uses prototypical inheritance, and any program that leverages
that aspect of it will be IMPOSSIBLE to port to PHP line for line without a
massive rewrite and restructure that amounts to a hell of a lot more than
"a bit of finangling".

As someone proficient in both languages I find that claim hilarious.

Now granted, there's a lot of JavaScript out there written by programmers
coming from a classical inheritance background (i.e. PHP, C#, Java) who
therefore never leverage prototypical inheritance at all, and those
programs are trivial to port between the languages, but that isn't all
there is to JavaScript.
