PHP is there with HHVM

  My bad, I hadn't looked at that project in some time and I hadn't realized they had advanced that far.

  Which ironically isn't really any faster than PHP7 in the real world outside of benchmarks. 7 was a phenomenal release, I saw 50% reductions in processing time across the board and on old array heavy systems 5-10x memory reduction.

    Thanks to pressure from HHVM I assume. Nothing was happening in the PHP language for freaking three years. To be fair the benchmarks usually take a wordpress or drupal installation and do a requests per second measurement, which IMO is a real world benchmark. No hate, I just don't get why hhvm doesn't get any love for what they did. Maybe because from HPHPc to HHVM they seriously gave the PHPc a competition and people kind of got mad. https://kinsta.com/blog/the-definitive-php-7-final-version-hhvm-benchmark/ https://kinsta.com/blog/the-definitive-php-7-final-version-h...

      >No hate, I just don't get why hhvm doesn't get any love for what they did. I don't know - I expected to see a ton of Hack projects show up here but it's like no one cared about the language except as a wake-up call to PHP. Maybe the involvement of Facebook put people off.

      > Nothing was happening in the PHP language for freaking three years. To be fair that's not because they where sleeping, but because they attempted to do something that proved too hard (unicode support) and they had to abandon it. That's why PHP skipped version 6.
