Building a Better PHP with HHVM and Hack: Part 1
- Touche 13y agoIt's weird they're not just calling this a fork of PHP.

- elwell 13y agoIt's closely tied to and originated from HHVM, which is not a fork of the standard PHP engine. Since Hack will only run on HHVM (and related), it's not really a fork of PHP. Hack is simply a subset of PHP that's been extended.
