PHP in FANG companies

I have more than 7 years of experience in PHP, recently I decided to improve my career and got an interview from UBER and Amazon. but I understood that I cannot use PHP in their interview so I tried to learn JS. but it was like a weak language. there was no internal data structure support and also it was not as typical languages like JAVA or PHP at all. TLDR; I did not go to the interview. does this will be a negative mark for me?

TL;DR goes to the beginning of your text. Now you can research about hoisting in javascript to be better prepared for the next one.

Yes, not showing up to the interview will guarantee that you’re not hired. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Use Python. You can write in English so you can program in Python.

for someone with more than 7 YOE in a programming language you should be able to easily pick up any other language. If you don't like JavaScript then whats holding you back from literally any other relevant language?
