- jacquesm 10y agoThey use something called HHVM, which is a PHP compiler. http://hhvm.com/ http://hhvm.com/

It is a good language developed by smart people, has rules to avoid pitfalls and rules to make things more certain. It retains only the syntax of PHP, but in strict mode, hack can be compared to any other good language.
