Facebook recently introduced and open-sourced Hack (https://code.facebook.com/posts/264544830379293/hack-a-new-programming-language-for-hhvm/), a gradually-typed programming language for HHVM that interoperates seamlessly with PHP. Hack builds the bridge between the dynamically and statically-typed worlds – providing code correctness while maintaining a fast feedback loop. Facebook is committed to working with the community to improve and refine the Hack language, to help interested developers convert to Hack (https://code.facebook.com/posts/264544830379293/hack-a-new-programming-language-for-hhvm/), and to narrow the HHVM compatibility gap with PHP5 and popular frameworks.
