The Future of HHVM
Has Hack actually gotten meaningful adoption outside of Facebook?
I never hear about anyone using it...

Slack does, and some (all?) of MediaWiki. Outside of that, I don't think it's enjoyed the sort of penetration of other OS projects from FB

MediaWiki doesn't use Hack. Wikimedia Foundation servers (which run Wikipedias and other sites) do use HHVM, but the code is 100% PHP-compatible and still runs fine on standard PHP.

this is a really helpful distinction that isn't made on the other comments that address HHVM and MW; thank you!

I don't think MediaWiki uses Hack, only PHP with HHVM (though I could be wrong).
