The warnings about MacOS are mostly being cautious, as I don't think anyone actually runs it in production. I work with open source Hack code a lot, and I almost always use the MacOS binaries instead of Linux for development. For my wo

To clarify, xhp-js was not server-side rendering - it's a framework for generating javascript code, and getting an DOM element ID for a react element that the hack code can refer to and use elsewhere, e.g. by passing to some other gene

Facebook doesn't. Open source users of Hack do, and it uses packagist.org - however if a package is written in PHP, Hack code can't use it. Not 100% accurate, but if a package's composer.json does not require HHVM, it will mo

For completeness: Sara Golemon started porting Facebook's old PHP5 implementation of XHP to PHP7 - you can find it here: https://github.com/phplang/xhp + https://github.com/phplang/xhp-lib

we're currently leaning towards out/inout parameters, with copy semantics, not byref (and in most cases, we'll probably be able to optimize away the copy); not certain yet though.

You'll also see a few of these on http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.incompatible.php :p

Sorry, I know this is a pain; I'm hoping to fix it by the end of the year (along with bringing back nightly debs, and supporting more recent versions of debian/ubuntu). For homebrew build times, there's https://git

I'll leave the first part of your question for someone less close to the project. For the toolchain, when using it: it's currently mostly the PHP toolchain (e.g. composer) with some additions: - the typechecker: this is a fast (

Function naming: We're moving towards functions_like_this(), instanceAndStaticMethodsLikeThis(), and async functions like foo_async() and methods like fooAsync(). We're unlikely to change the PHP builtins, but we're fairly li

Thanks; we don't feel that the framework authors have to make a choice here: - short-term, those of us working on HHVM - not the frameworks - need to make sure that HHVM can run the frameworks that Hack developers require - long-term,

No - it still renders the element client-side so that it supports interactive components. See: https://github.com/hhvm/xhp-js/blob/master/src/XHPReact.php https://github.com/hhvm&#x2

RE exceptions: in HHVM at least you can change this: 1. set hhvm.error_handling.call_user_handler_on_fatals=true in your ini file 2. throw exceptions from your handler :)

also, if this is an open source workload, any chance you could submit it to https://github.com/hhvm/oss-performance ? We generally optimize based on those benchmarks, and Facebook itself.

do you have any profiling information to share? if you could post it as a github issue, we'd be very interested. This sounds unusual.
