hhvm
A high-performance virtual machine for executing programs written in Hack, using JIT compilation.
What is hhvm?
HHVM is an open-source virtual machine that executes programs written in Hack, a gradually typed programming language developed by Facebook. It uses just-in-time (JIT) compilation to optimize performance at runtime, making it suitable for high-demand server-side applications. HHVM can be deployed with built-in webservers like Proxygen or integrated with nginx/Apache via FastCGI.
Developers and organizations building server-side applications with Hack who require high performance and efficient runtime execution. It's particularly relevant for teams transitioning from PHP or seeking a typed alternative for web development.
HHVM offers superior performance over traditional PHP interpreters through its JIT compilation engine, while providing full compatibility with Hack's type system and modern language features. It's the official runtime for Hack, ensuring optimal execution and ongoing support from the language's creators.
