==> jokes aside, they are pulling in a very different direction from the one of the core PHP devs... this alone makes me expect less from the entire PHP system as a whole. They just made the PHP equivalent of Perl 6 vs Perl 5. But at least they are using their "Perl 6" and it works fine for them.
If we could at least start to see shared hosts offering support for Hack and XHP it would seem more hopeful. (btw, you think PHP devs would like this? I was kinda pondering over it as a business idea...)
- thefreeman 13y agoThey have a heroku buildpack https://github.com/hhvm/heroku-buildpack-hhvm https://github.com/hhvm/heroku-buildpack-hhvm That's not quite "shared host easy", but it's still pretty easy to get up and running on heroku if you know what you are doing.
- stephenr 13y ago> they are pulling in a very different direction from the one of the core PHP devs when a sole company creates its own modified "version" of an existing language, and that company has a stated motto of "move fast and break things" why would you possibly trust them to maintain any features/compatibility longer than they themselves see a use for it?
