Not quite an answer to your question but slack engineering wrote a paper [1] on migrating their code base from PHP proper to Hack. Specifically they used [2] 'partial mode' since "this loosens several restrictions to ease migration" [1] https://slack.engineering/hacklang-at-slack-a-better-php/ https://slack.engineering/hacklang-at-slack-a-better-php/ [2] https://docs.hhvm.com/hack/source-code-fundamentals/program-structure#legacy-files https://docs.hhvm.com/hack/source-code-fundamentals/program-... EDIT: This would indicate that Hack may perhaps support standard PHP syntax but not the other way around. EDIT: According to this [3] they are very compatible.
