I was excited about Hack when it came out. Unfortunately PHP took just enough from it to kill it. I gave up on it once Composer stopped supporting it, after backwards compatibility with PHP no longer became a goal.
IMHO Hack's best feature was native support for XHP... which (also unfortunately) isn't something PHP decided to take.

- Twirrim 2y agoHack really gave PHP/Zend the kick up the arse that it seemed to need.
- eru 2y agoI guess like Scala (et al) and Java? C++ also seems to be learning things from Rust these days.
