Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Hack Lang: Contexts and Capabilities
Learned of this in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37186869 it was posted 2 years ago to no discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30291459 seems far more interesting than that.
https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/blob/master/hphp/hack/doc/H... appears to be where it was proposed, and has more background than the current docs.
- Has Meta/Facebook stopped developing hacklang?
-
Hacklang is no longer opensource?
also fredemmott is not working on it any more https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/issues/9376

Interesting ocaml mention in buck2 by fb
Hack and Flow are also written in OCaml.
-
Buck2, a large scale build tool written in Rust by Meta, is now available
Here is a commit generated by clippy fix without Cargo involved: https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/commit/efea2c4dcc12fdbf3a2e3ce383bbdca2de5f93a9

Taking Hack Seriously - Slack Engineering
Compared to PHP, with its visible community, Hack/HHVM does seem like a dead-end technology. But it’s very actively maintained and it powers the largest website on the planet. It definitely doesn’t make sense for the average PHP developer to switch (and the article steers clear of evangelising) but it also definitely doesn’t make sense for us to switch back.

I know that's the name of the language, I'm asking about the first P
PHP is nearly as old as the web. Change the conversation and say: I use Hack on the Hip Hop Virtual Machine

RFC: Sealed classes
I think there are thousands of other things to apply to PHP, rather than this, but if that's the way to go, well, the worse is nothing. Also just look at what https://docs.hhvm.com/ has and PHP doesn't, or go through LOLPHP.

Ask HN: State of PHP at Facebook
> Are there any large Hack codebases I can explore?
depends what you mean by 'large' - perhaps https://github.com/hhvm/user-documentation ?
> Does anyone know if FB tracks changes to PHP so Hack is "up to date"?
No, for the most part, Hack no longer considers PHP 'upstream'. Exceptions are things like security fixes to extension functions, if that particular extension function was derived from PHP.

PHP in 2021
> With Hack's extensive static type checking and even contexts / coeffects
Have you used contexts/coeffects?
My understanding is that it's still yet to be fully rolled out to WWW, and nobody outside FB has yet played around with it. IMO it still has some DX issues (https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/issues/8828) and the examples given in documentation don't actually work in real life (https://github.com/hhvm/user-documentation/issues/1016).
