Hi Karen,

Hack is really just barely starting to gain any sort of traction - and HHVM as PHP replacement a little more so.

I think that as the latter becomes more dominant the former will follow as people already trust the runtime.

This will be a slow slow process.

I can definitely say that my blog posts on the Engine Yard blog are still seeing lots of interest (the last part was published last week), and conversations are common at conferences.

If you do start a meetup I am in the area again in October for ZendCon and would love the opportunity to speak on hhvm and hacklang - let me know if you are interested and I will send on the talk abstract :)
