    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.

    > 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.

    > 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).

    Kotlin: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/sealed-classes.html#location-of-direct-subclasses ( instead of using permits, all class within the same package are permitted, this won't work in PHP since we don't have pacakges, but if in the future we get packages, we can make it so that classes with no permit clauses are permitted to the same package - see https://github.com/Danack/Package/blob/master/rfc_words.md )
  • Modules and why Namespaces are not them
    1 project | /r/PHP | 18 Nov 2021
    Yeah....I keep coming back to a lack of modules/packages separate from namespace as being one of the things that PHP is lacking as there are a few different problems that would be possible (though not easy) to solve with them. Have some very rough words: https://github.com/Danack/Package/blob/master/rfc_words.md

    It would be really good to make the 'prize' not being a thing to be fought for. Some sort of package system might be part of that.
