When I say "optional", I mean you can just create a filename.php and start putting lines of code into it, and it'll work fine. But, these days OOP is favored by most and pretty much everyone is using it. So if you are working on code that other people have written, classes are everywhere.
A lot of Wordpress code is non-OOP, though.

I don't miss the 60Hz flicker, one little bit.
Wanna see something that makes even Perl look elegant and readable? Check out any sed script. Here's tetris, in sed: https://github.com/uuner/sedtris/blob/master/sedtris.sed
Yes, it can provide a SSL connection to the end-user even though you're just serving http with no cert. However it is yet another moving part that can break or be mis-configured and yet another bunch of capitalists data-mining all the things.
Naaah, Caddy is way simpler than Apache. It'll be much easier. Take a quick look at the docs and you'll see what I mean.
It doesn't work for me, on Firefox or Chrome. Chrome reports ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR
