I hate them :(

It's weird syntax. For plenty of cases you need to store return codes somehow to act on errors etc.

If possible I prefer something like golang, I even prefer writing scripts in PHP.

At least I have a proper debugger, ide, clear functions and can easily handle errors.

Just try to use curl and act on non 2* code in a simple manner... Try to split up the content from potential API errors
