C/C++/Object-C/PHP have short functions with names like strlen, strstr, etc. Java/C#/JavaScript have .length() and things like System.out.println()/Console.Write(). Ideally, I would like a middle ground. The Java/C# standard library is too verbose and the C standard functions are a bit cryptic.
It's great one can use different programming styles in JavaScript/PHP/C++. In PHP many functions are available in procedural and object oriented style, e.g. http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.query.php
