HHVM Open Source Update
summary
HHVM claims strong PHP compatibility with concrete results: 18 of top 33 frameworks hit 100% unit-test pass, the project accepts 450 pull requests from 150 contributors and closes two thirds of ~1,000 issues. Releases use semantic cadence (3.0 major, minors every eight weeks, in-house every two), packages land for Debian/Ubuntu, the built‑in web server is removed in favor of FastCGI/Nginx, a Heroku buildpack exists, debug builds ship, HNI enables dynamic separable extensions, and ports for Windows, macOS and ARM are in progress.
