Looks like a big release! I'm curious -- is anyone actually using HHVM, either in production or for personal use?

I was going to make a HN clone in Hack, but gave up because there was no real community around the language, I couldn't find decent hosting and documentation was sparse.

It's a good language, especially if you're one of those people who like PHP except for the few irritating things Hack fixes, it just seems like it died before it could get a good community around it.

I will be forever grateful for Hack spurring some huge improvements in PHP from the 5 to the 7 branch when they were pretty compatible with each other.

I just don't see a reason to follow them on this journey since they decided not to be compatible with PHP back in 3.3.
