FYI, PHP 7 (which is in beta status) is close to HHVM now, speed-wise (using Drupal, Wordpress, Symfony, etc.)[1][2], and it also includes many of the features HHVM + Hack added onto PHP in the first place. Not 1:1 feature parity, of course, but a lot of people who were testing/considering a move to HHVM/Hack have reconsidered now that PHP 7 fixes many of the language's pain points. Competition is good!
