I agree, it's a shame we don't push Hack more broadly (in general I think the reason is our teams are focused on internal adoption and improvements, and don't feel they would benefit from supporting open source community), it's such a pragmatic language, so familiar that folks pick it up super quickly, it's getting an awesome standard library now, it's a got a great type system, great IDE integration, scales to our bizillion lines of code...
- wink 7y agoI think part of it was because it was being pushed at all. I didn't see a lot of collaboration from Hack towards PHP. It was a - sadly typical - "Hey, here's our thing, it's better". A few select individuals came forward (or were part of PHP core already) but it felt like a Silo, so I'm not surprised there wasn't a lot of participation from outside. PHP 7 and the speed improvements were a direct answer to HHVM, though.
